Monday, March 22, 1943 www.onwar.com

In Tunisia... The bridgehead over Wadi Zigzaou has been reinforced in the early hours of the day but a counterattack by the German 15th Panzer Division effectively ends this attack. At the Tebaga Gap, the German 21st Panzer Division and the 164th Light Division prove capable of holding the New Zealand Corps.

On the Eastern Front... The Soviets capture Durovo, northeast of Smolensk.
