The transport ship on which he came over from Virginia and two others were torpedoed and sunk two or three days later. The Vichy French fought for three days , but as Patton said , had the Germans been defending there in strength ----it would not have been as successful.

Before reading this article I knew nothing about Operation Torch. I also didn't know Francois Darlan was assassinated. I learned a lot about WWII from reading this article.

It's really is quite remarkable that President Roosevelt saw the opportunity that these military men didn't. If he hadn't who knows how the war would have ended.

But Torch would never have worked with out soldiers willing to do it and I thank them. It's amazing what operation Torch did for the Allies, with out it they could have lost the war.

If we would have gone strait for France unprepared the war would have probably ended very differently. Invading North Africa was definitely the best plan.

It helped me to learn a little bit more about WWII. It was a well thought out plan, and well executed too. Germany was pretty dumb to simply overlook the Allies building up the shipping in Gibraltar.
