History of the ALGERIA-FRENCH MOROCCO 1942 Battle Streamer
The Allied invasion of North Africa, codenamed Operation Torch, began on November 8, 1942, marking the first major Allied offensive against Axis forces in World War II. This operation saw U.S. and British forces land in Vichy French-controlled Algeria and Morocco, aiming to gain control of the region and prepare for the subsequent invasion of Southern Europe.
American forces, under the command of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, faced resistance from Vichy French troops but quickly secured key cities, including Casablanca, Oran, and Algiers. The operation not only marked the U.S. Army's debut in the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater but also helped solidify the Allied strategy, leading to the eventual defeat of Axis forces in Africa and the Mediterranean.
By successfully coordinating naval, air, and ground forces, the Allies demonstrated their growing strength and ability to execute complex operations, laying the groundwork for future campaigns. The Algeria-French Morocco streamer stands as a proud testament to this historic victory and the enduring legacy of American and Allied heroism.
