On 26 February, Arnim, in the mistaken belief that the Kasserine battles had forced the Allies to weaken the north to reinforce the south, launched Unternehmen Ochsenkopf (Operation Ox Head) against V Corps, across a wide front and commanded by General Weber [REF].
Fighting lasted until 5 March and in terrible weather conditions the operation was called off by Arnim [REF].
