After this disaster, Gen. George Patton took command and reinvigorated U.S. troops with tough training and new tactics. In late March, at El Guettar in Tunisia, Pattons men defeated the Germans. It was a morale-boosting victory-the first American success versus the Germans and the first of Pattons storied World War II career-and proved to the enemy, the British, and the Americans themselves that the U.S. Army could fight and win.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974502940960,"sku":"NEW0811718328","price":25.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pattons-first-victory-how-general-george-patton-turned-the-tide-in-north-africa-and-defeated-the-afrika-korps-at-el-guettar-0811718328","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
