Forces Drive Near Mezgouna Against Rommel’s Escape Route
American forces push to Mezgouna and near the coastal road, the last barrier protecting Rommel’s exit into northern Tunisia. A two‑pronged U S advance aims for the sea while Rommel mounts a counter attack and British Eighth Army mends a Mareth line breach. A British flank moves around to threaten El Hamma and Gabes.
