Sommario/riassunto |
|
In November 1942, eleven months after Pearl Harbor, the United States launched Operation Torch, the invasion of Morocco and Algeria. Overwhelmingly successful against Vichy French forces, the Americans next shifted their focus to Tunisia, where they battled the German Afrika Korps at Kasserine Pass, El Guettar, and Bizerte. |
