On 17 November 1942 Allied troops began their campaign against the Germans and Italians in the Tunisian campaign, in the last effort to push the Axis out of North Africa, and open the way to Sicily and Italy, and, as you heard from the Winston Churchill quote at the top, meaning Germany would be surrounded in the last 18 months of the war.
