Operation Torch: Home

Best Bets

"With Axis forces retreating across Libya after defeat at El Alamein, over 100,000 Anglo-American troops under General Dwight D. Eisenhower invaded Vichy Northwest Africa in the amphibious operation codenamed Torch. After landings at Algiers, Oran and Casablanca, some heavy fighting secured a ceasefire and the Allies advanced into Tuisia (8-17 November 1942)."
