Fair to say 8th army didn,t wet there pants in Crusader the men fought hard as they also did at Alamein and our guys certainly weren,t wetting there pants in the Minqar Qaim breakout.
As for the Americans they got smashed at Kasserine but it was always going to happen you had a battle hardened enemy with 3 years of hard combat experience against a bunch of novices going in for the first time the U.S army was neglected between the two world wars to the point where it practically had to be rebuilt from the ground up,they were always going to have a rough beginning.
