American troops invaded North Africa in November 1942, but did not face serious resistance until their defeat at Kasserine Pass. After this disaster, Gen. George Patton took command, and at El Guettar, Patton's men defeated the Germans. It was the first victory of Patton's storied World War II career, and proved that the U.S. Army could win.
