Introduction

Scenario Forty-Four

Hill 482 dominated the Djebel el Mcheltat position, and as long as the Axis held it, the Americans could not advance along the Gabes-el Guettar road. Recently the Germans had reshuffled their positions resulting in the 10th Panzer Division's Engineer Battalion taking responsibility for Hill 482's defenses. Tod drive them off their positions the 16th Infantry Regiment went forward on the morning of 28 March.

Conclusion

In ten minutes, the 16th Infantry Regiment lost 105 men. The troops pressed forward anyway, but the Germans had a clear view of them from their hilltop fortress and mercilessly poured down automatic weapons fire. Eventually the Americans abandoned the effort, though they would try again the next day with equally disappointing results.
