More than 300 Soviet inhabited localities were liberated.
Four German infantry divisions and one tank division were routed.

Following the repulse of their counter-attack at Tabourda, fifteen miles west of Tunis, the Germans are believed to have retired behind their defences ringing Tunis and Bizerta to await the British First Army’ s onslaught.

“It is significant that the Germans are now on the defensive while at first it was not sure whether they were strong enough to launch an offensive.”
