Good link...Now that you mention Kasserene Pass & the U.S. armor against Rommel. In 1960, I was with the Embassy in Rome, I met Lex Barker, Tarzan to you movie goers. He was about 6'4", a devout physical nut. I Played golf with him several times. One day I was in the Army PX in Livorno Italy and met Lex. We talked awhile & I asked how he gained entrance to the PX. He replied that he was an armored sergeant at Kasserene Pass, had been wounded, sent home and was discharged with a physical retirement. With all the good care he took he dropped dead while jogging in N.Y. City in the 70"s AL
