À propos de cet audio

STRIFE! History's Conflicts Podcast: Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942, is a chaotic and brutal birth for the American war machine in Europe. This chapter explores the campaign not just as a military landing, but as a painful and essential education. It follows the journey of green soldiers and conflicted defenders, whose clash on the beaches of Morocco is as much a political tragedy as a battle. Through their eyes, we see the raw shock of combat against an unexpected foe—Vichy French forces—and the moral confusion that follows. Beyond the bullets, the narrative reveals how this messy, costly operation becomes the indispensable crucible that forges a victorious army. The lessons learned in blood and fire on those distant shores ultimately pave the road to Rome and Normandy, transforming a strategic gamble into the first, decisive step toward liberation.
