Historical Background
Sbeïtla, a town with an ancient heritage, was very briefly held by the Axis forces int the battle of Tunisia. On 21
November, an armored German column cleared the way for an Italian security detachment to occupy Kairouan, east of 9 x1
the mountains, and next day broke through one of the passes and drove a weaker French garrison out of Sbeïtla. After
this German force had started back to Tunis, leaving an Italian group in possession of Sbeïtla, a detachment of Colonel
Raff's 509th Parachute Regiment suddenly attacked at midday and turned the tables. They expelled the Italians and a 10 x1
stronger French force took up the defense of Sbeïtla. The Axis made one unsuccessful attempt on 24 November to
regain Sbeïtla but thereafter accepted the fact that they lacked the means.
