Then and Now: Tunis 1943 and 2024. 🗃 #skystorians #TunisianCampaign #AfricanStalingrad - I love doing this, it's childish but who cares?

On this day in 1942, six days after the Operation TORCH landings, the first Axis tanks arrive in Tunisia. #TunisianCampaign #AfricanStalingrad

On This Day 1942 - the first parachute drop into Tunisia by
the Parachute Regiment - to Souk el Arba near Beja. With the aim of seizing the road junctions, harass the enemy and win over the undecided French forces. #TunisianCampaign #AfricanStalingrad

Churchill really didn't like 8th Army lampooned, they were in Tunisia, Takrouna, at the time of his "Letter to the Editor". Currently being auctioned, bids over >2k. Fascinating though! Where was he on April 17th 43, London? #WinstonChurchill #TunisianCampaign #AfricanStalingrad

It's #MapMonday - yes, buy a map and read all about the battle in a book but IMHO if you also make your own map on #googleearth, walk the ground, then you'll deeply understand it. #TunisianCampaign #AfricanStalingrad #MilHist #GroundTruth #PME #MilitaryEducation #LongstopHill

"The Battalion's advance to Tella Sefra was like a well-rehearsed night exercise. The platoons crossed...in artillery formation with shell bursts exploding in the spaces between them...into a maze of gullies..." Irish Guards official history. No change since 1943 #TunisianCampaign #AfricanStalingrad
