I am looking for any details and especially any maps/diagrams of the actions at Djebel Abiod on 17–19 and 21–22 November 1942 between KG Witzig and Hartforce/36th Bde. While I have some details of the fighting, I don't have enough to place the actual tactical locations of the units during these actions.
Looking for the same for the actions at Djebel el-Azag/Djebel el-Ajred near Jefna 28–30 November 1942.
Thank you for any assistance.
Pista! Jeff

Do you read German?
The enemy had superiority in numbers, his tanks were more heavily armoured, they had larger calibre guns with nearly twice the effective range of ours, and their telescopes were superior. 5 RTR 19/11/41

I find it also important to note that 'Witzig' means 'funny' in German.
