Operation Pugilist was an Allied operation in Tunisia during World War II. In his General Plan, General Bernard Montgomery stated: The object of operation Pugilist is to destroy the enemy now opposing Eighth Army in the Mareth position, and to advance and capture Sfax. Pugilist itself was indecisive and failed to make a decisive breakthrough. It did, however, establish an alternative route of attack and thus laid the ground for Supercharge II, an outflanking manoevre via the Tebaga Gap.

  • Operation Pugilist was an Allied operation in Tunisia during World War II. In his General Plan, General Bernard Montgomery stated: The object of operation Pugilist is to destroy the enemy now opposing Eighth Army in the Mareth position, and to advance and capture Sfax. Pugilist itself was indecisive and failed to make a decisive breakthrough. It did, however, establish an alternative route of attack and thus laid the ground for Supercharge II, an outflanking manoevre via the Tebaga Gap.
  • L'opération Pugilist était une opération des forces alliées de la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui s'inscrit dans la campagne de Tunisie. Dans son plan initial, le général britannique Bernard Montgomery déclare : « L'objet de l'opération Pugilist est de détruire l'ennemi maintenant opposé à la 8 armée à la ligne Mareth, et d'avancer pour prendre Sfax ». Pugilist a été indécise et n'a pas permis de percée décisive. Elle a, toutefois, établi un itinéraire d'attaque alternatif et a donc jeté les bases de Supercharge II, une manœuvre de contournement par l'intermédiaire du col de Tebaga.
  • L'operazione Pugilist Gallop è il nome in codice dell'attacco compiuto, durante la Campagna del Nord Africa, dalla 8a Armata britannica contro la linea del Mareth, insieme di fortificazioni create dai francesi e occupate dall'Asse, rinforzate con fortini e capisaldi. La linea del Mareth partiva dal mare a nord e terminava ai piedi di una formazione montuosa sfruttando i letti di alcuni fiumi in secca. Aggirando i rilievi si trovava la postazione di El Hamma.
