TUNISGRAD: Victory in Africa

In 1942, America joined the Allies in force and began Operation Torch, flooding troops into North Africa. Over 6 months, Allied armies captured over 250,000 German and Italian Troops and ended their dominance over the Mediterranean. Along with Guadalcanal and Stalingrad, this was one of three Axis defeats in early 1943 that marked the beginning of the end of the war. 16 pages of photos.
