Japanese advancing in Burma
Monday, April 5, 1943 www.onwar.com

In Burma... The Japanese on the Mayu peninsula continue their advance northwestward, in the direction of Indin.

In Tunisia... The Axis defenses on the Wadi Akarit Line have been improved over the course of the past few days. The line is occupied, mostly, by Italian troops. The German 15th Panzer and 90th Light Divisions are held in reserve behind the line. Most of the Axis armor is further north, engaging the US 2nd Corps around El Guettar. In the evening the British 4th Indian Division begins a night advance against the Djebel Fatnassa position. Good progress is achieved.
