The Americans had arrived with brass bands and crisp uniforms to seize North Africa from the Nazis. Then on Valentine's Day 1943, 30,000 inexperienced young troops faced an attack by Erwin Rommel, Hitler's Desert Fox, and his battle-hardened Africa Korps. In the slaughter that ensued, Rommell left behind a shaken, confused, and deeply shamed American army and a nearly collapsed Allied front. This is the full story of that massacre of youthful innocents, sacrificed by military incompetents.
