Operation Torch

Our first online exhibit tells the story of Operation Torch, the Allied Invasion of North Africa in 1942. While not as well-remembered as the Invasion of Normandy or the Battle of Okinawa, Operation Torch was a pivotal moment in the Second World War. The Allied victory in North Africa brought France back into the war, massively shifted the balance of power in the Mediterranean, and delivered a victory to the folks at home.
