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.

Crouching to explode,
Beyond the Atlantic skies,
With cheerful cries
Their barking tubes
Upon the German toad.”
