The <entity_0> (Unternehmen Frühlingswind/Operation Spring Breeze) took place during the <entity_5> Campaign from <entity_1>–<entity_2>, in <entity_3>. The <entity_6> was fought around <entity_4>, where a large number of US Army units were mauled by German and Italian forces. The <entity_6> was planned by the Germans to be a two-part offensive-defensive operation against US positions in western <entity_5>. Generaloberst Hans-Jürgen von Arnim commanded several experienced combat units, including the 10th Panzer Division and the 21st Panzer Division of the 5th Panzer Army, which were to sweep north and west towards the Kasserine Pass, while another <entity_6> group attacked <entity_4> from the south. At 04:00 on <entity_1> four <entity_6> groups totalling 140 German tanks drawn from 10th and 21st Panzer divisions (Lieutenant General Heinz Ziegler), advanced through Faïd and Maizila passes, sites that General Dwight D. Eisenhower had inspected three hours earlier, to attack <entity_4>. The experienced Germans performed well and caused many US losses before General Anderson, who had been appointed to co-ordinate Allied operations in <entity_5>, ordered an Allied withdrawal on <entity_2>.
