There they met the Russians and it was called that the war with the Germans were over. On 8 November 1942, the US troops landed on the coast of North Africa in three different places and advanced East to meet the British. However, the initial fighting was with the Vichy French, who had surrendered and allied with Germany. However many French did not support this alliance and looked for a way to break away. On 19 November 1942, the 175th Field Artillery Battalion of the 34th Infantry Division was attached to the British 78th Division and entered combat at Medjez-el-Bab, Tunisia. This was the first American unit to enter combat against the German army (except for special commando raids). Later, the Americans would fight the German army and experience a defeat at the Battle of Kasserine Pass.
