The Battle of El Guettar took place from 23 March – 3 April 1943, in south-central Tunisia during the Tunisia Campaign of World War II. It was fought by elements of the Army Group Africa under General Hans-Jürgen von Arnim, along with Italian First Army under General Giovanni Messe, against the U.S. II Corps under Lieutenant General George Patton. It was the first battle in which U.S. forces were able to defeat the experienced German tank units, but the followup to the battle was inconclusive.
