 In Tunisia... The last Axis units reach Wadi Akarit as the New Zealand Corps enter Gabes. General Mess, commanding the Italian 1st Army, reports to the Italian High Command that the Akarit position has not received much preparation and may be vulnerable to a rapid attack. This position is, however, considered a naturally defensive barrier.
