Description
Tunis, Tunisia-Tunis, linked by railroad across French North Africa with Casablanca, is an important jumping-off place for an attack on Rommel in Libya, from the rear. U.S. forces are preparing today to drive across Tunisia into Libya where, with westward moving British Forces, they will be in position to squeeze Rommel's shattered Afrika Korps in tight pincers. Tunis lies just across the Mediterranean from Italy, and serves as a guardian of Middle East supply lines.
