ADVANCED TOBRUK ÜBER EXPANSION 3: KASSERINE PASS

North of GOUBELLAT, TUNISIA, 31 JANUARY 1943: The first Allied offensive to reach Tunis has been forestalled by more than a month by German resistance. There had been several rumors of a new German tank, but because of General von Arnim's reluctance to assist Rommel, the new wonder-weapon had been held in reserve since the arrival of the Pzkw VIe ‘Tiger’ tank in Tunisia in November of 1942. On the morning of the 31 January, a spotter for the British 72nd Anti-Tank Regiment sighted one of the new Tigers headed his way. He immediately radioed for reinforcements. There were some friendly tanks in the area, but nothing that could match the Tiger. The British spotter immediately left his post and ran back to headquarters shouting, "Tigers! There are tigers coming down the road!" It was then local commanders realized only six-pounder AT-guns were available to repel the attack. It would be a long morning , and the action could possibly disturb afternoon tea time. The new German tank soon showcased its capabilities. Its thick armor and long 88mm gun was more than a match for anything the Allies had in Tunisia at the time. This particular engagement saw the 72nd Anti-Tank Regiment call for reinforcements. When it was all over, the 72nd Anti-Tank Regiment captured the first Tiger tank of the war, providing for an immediate technical analysis of the new German wonder-weapon, and clues about how to defeat the ‘Tiger’ in battle.
