Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943 - The Principle of Mass


Tanks, open desert. Infantry is optional.



One fine morning in Africa and I'm in command of a US tank battalion. And some infantry that I left at the line of departure. The Germans, dug in some two Km from my tanks. With a mix of medium tanks and support vehicles, they chose to control the objective with their fires rather than with their tracks.



Contact didn't come cheap. The armored tip of our spear got hit with a long range shot.




This platoon got two tanks hit and had a hard time locating the Germans. A small rise in the terrain isolated the US platoon from the rest of the battalion. The principle of mass took a vacation from our movement to contact and the consequences were evident.
