Operation Torch was the Anglo-American invasion of French Morocco and Algeria during the North African Campaign of World War II. It began on November 8, 1942. It resulted from an uneasy compromise between the Western Allies, and was intended to relieve pressure on the Soviet Union by imperiling Axis forces in the region and by enabling an invasion of Southern Italy.
In this video, I discuss how the Operation Torch and General George Patton helped Montgomery from the British 8th Army surround and then finally capture the Axial forces in Tunisia.
