The Battle of Kasserine Pass was a key battle fought between American, British, and Free French forces and German and Italian forces in Tunisia. In February Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika korps, which had been retreating through Egypt and Libya, from the British, established itself on the Mareth Line in southeast Tunisia. The widely dispersed and long Allied supply lines permitted Rommel to launch his final offensive thrusts. In mid-February the Afrika Korps struck westward from Faid Pass and broke through the Kasserine Pass. With this limited objective achieved, Rommel returned to the Mareth Lines.
