Location of the Allied Victory: El-Guettar, Tunisia.

Explanation:

It was after Marshall Erwin Rommel left Africa on March 9th, 1943 and with him went the best chance the Axis possessed to hang on and delay the inevitable allied victory.

The Allies launched a series of powerful blows from east and west forcing the Axis armies back on Tunis, despite the Germans skillful use of terrain and reserves. The Americans, following their poor performance during the battle of Kasserine Pass, improved weekly. On March 23-24, 1943 and following a rapid advance of seventy-five miles General George S. Patton's men carved the counterattacking 10th Panzer Division to pieces near El Guettar.

Although the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion and 899th Tank Destroyer Battalions supporting the US 1st Infantry Division both took heavy losses against the German tanks, the beleaguered American tank destroyers also played an important role in decimating the 10th Panzer, as did the increasingly world class American artillery. US artillery played a prominent role in crushing a late afternoon assault by the German panzer grenadiers as the American artillerymen employed everything from airbursts to skipping shells off the ground to decimate the assaulting German infantry. The overwhelming firepower pounded the Germans with such brutal efficiency George S. Patton, overseeing the battle from a trench on high ground.
