Coincidence? Funny how things work out from time to time. James Hennessey just sent me this link tonight, and when I read the first paragraph I kind of shook my head. Why? Well it starts off talking about Sidi bou Zid and February 14th, 1943, the exact date I am reading about right now in the book, An Army at Dawn. Pretty strange.
What's ensues there and in the days ahead at Kasserine Pass, is warfare at it's best and worst. Great days for Rommel, very bad days for the Allies in North Africa. Ask anyone who was there if they lived thorugh it. Bad decisions made by Fredendall, and a huge loss of life.
