re: #560 wlewisiii

Sidi Bou Zid is a place - and it’s an important place in American history. February 19–25, 1943 was the duration of the Battle of Kasserine Pass which started at Sidi Bou Zid. It was Rommel’s last victory in North Africa. After the total thumping of the US 1st Armored Division with some exceptions - 13th Armor fought honorably (and I am proud to have served in that regiment much later) - the US came in and clean house, reorganized, gave command to Patton and basically created the Army that would later fight to victory in north-west Europe.

I doubt what you’re posting about has anything to do with that, however…

Thanks. Yes, that was mentioned on the Wiki page also (see my #553).

Ugh, the ME sooo doesn’t need another mess.
