The Americans fielded the 1st Armored, 1st Infantry, 9th Infantry and 34 Infantry. The 3rd Infantry didn't engage until May of 1943. Shortly after the conclusion of the campaign and before Sicily, there were 9 divsions plus two so called replacement divsions. Both American and French units were also garrisoning lines of communications, ports, airbases, supply dumps etc during the Tunisian campaign.

Thanks.
So, would you still agree with your original comment: "there were probably as many French fighting Axis in North Africa as there were Americans."
