Operation Torch: North African Campaign - Lego World War II Stopmotion [4K]

On November 8, 1942, over 100,000 Anglo-American troops landed in three major ports throughout Vichy-France occupied North Africa. With the support of British and American warships bombarding the coast, the Allied troops managed to defeat the stubborn Vichy-French resistance. With the ports secured and the French troops defeated, Allied commanders forced Vichy Commander Admiral Darlan to call a cease-fire in North Africa. From there, the Allies would fight their way across North Africa and back into the heart of Europe. Although Operation Torch fell short of expectations, it gave Allied commanders invaluable experience for further operations. The events that transpired in early November of 1942 would heavily influence and ensure success of the invasion on D-Day, a year and a half later.
