Explained simply
Operation Torch was the Allied invasion of French North Africa in November 1942, during the Second World War. British and American forces landed in Morocco and Algeria, then advanced against German and Italian forces in Tunisia.
The campaign involved US troops, French forces in the region and the Axis armies. Fighting included the American defeat at Kasserine Pass in early 1943 and later battles in Tunisia, where Hill 609 became a significant position.
The invasion helped the Allies establish a base in North Africa and put pressure on Axis forces there. It also formed part of the wider campaign that led to the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.
