'''Operation Torch''' (or '''Operation TORCH''') was the successful American invasion of French North Africa in November, 1942 during [[World War II]]. With the British pushing eastward from [[Egypt]], and with Allied control of the sea and air, the Germans and Italians were caught in a vice and finally surrendered in May, 1943. Torch was the first American contact with the Germans, and taught many lessons for the green American commanders, headed by General [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] and [[George Patton]], especially the optimum use of air power.
