Axis surrender in Tunisia
Thursday, May 13, 1943 www.onwar.com

Some of the 250,000 Axis prisoners taken in Tunisia [photo at link].

In Tunisia... Italian Field Marshal Messe orders the remaining German and Italian troops to surrender. About 250,000 Axis troops have been taken prisoner in the past few days.

In the Aleutian Islands... US forces now outnumber the Japanese defenders on Attu Island by 4 to 1. However, the Americans are unable to extend their front beyond the landing areas. Bad weather and the terrain hinder progress.

In Washington... The Trident Conference continues.
