German Analysis
After the battle, both sides studied the results. Rommel was largely contemptuous of both the U.S. equipment and fighting ability and considered them a non-threat. He did, however, single out a few U.S. units for praise, such as the 2nd Battalion, 13th Armored Regiment of Orlando Ward′s 1st Armored Division. He characterized this unit′s defense of Sbeitla as being "clever and well fought". For some time after the battle, German units deployed large numbers of captured U.S. vehicles.
