OPERATION TORCH!

Operation Torch took place on November 7, 1942, when 850 naval craft landed American and British troops in North Africa.  It was the greatest amphibious operation in history and was led by General Eisenhower.  The assault began with 60,000 American troops leading the charge..
The Allied landings took place on the north and West coasts of French North Africa.  Included in the attack were General Jimmy Doolittle for air and Major General George Patton for land forces. Bridgeheads were established both north and south of Casablanca, with little resistance from French forces, thus opening the second front against the Germans in North Africa.........Medicineman!
