Overview:
As part of 8th Army’s first attempt to crack the Enfidaville Line, the 5th New Zealand Brigade was ordered to capture the key observation point of Takrouna – a small village crowned by a group of tightly clustered buildings surrounded by cliffs, all atop a 600 ft. hill defended by troops of the 101st “Trieste” Motorized Division. The New Zealanders made a night attack to envelop the hill on both sides, but only on the eastern side did they gain much ground. There, after suffering heavy casualties from vicious defensive fire, elements of the 28th (Maori) Battalion reached the foot of the hill at dawn. The capture of Takrouna seemed impossible, but the Maoris regrouped and, with boundless determination, began working their way up the slopes of the rugged, heavily defended feature.Attacker: New Zealand (28th (Maori) New Zealand Battalion)
Defender: Italian (1º Battaglione, 66º Reggimento Fanteria)
