Hello,


Almost everyone heard of Hill 609 in Tunisia.

But what German unit(s) fiercely defended this position against the US 34th Infantry Division in April-May 1943?

Going off on fuzzy memory, but I believe the Barenthin regiment of Division Von Manteuffel.

Hi,
according to Paul Carell "Die Wüstenfüchse" :

.... At the same time parts of 334. Infantry Division as well as 47. Infantry Regiment fought against II. American Corps at Cote 609, which was lost by May 1st......

Hello,


Well I think it was rather the Luftwaffen-Jäger Regiment „Barenthin“ under Major Hanns BAIER that defended Hill 609 (Jebel Tahent).
