For weeks military equipment and supplies are moved to the Eastern seaboard to be loaded on ships. Troops board troop transport ships. The same is being done in Great Britain. Soon the greatest sea armada in history is at sea. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill formulated the plan and General George Marshall prepared the operations.
The plan was to strike North Africa from Casablanca to Algiers. With air cover over Casablanca the naval bombardment begins. Casablanca surrenders. Troops are landed at Oran and Algiers. U.S. and British troops board landing craft and hit the beach at Oran.
Tunisians hear a message from President Roosevelt. Algiers is taken. Algerians listen to President Roosevelt's prepared broadcast. Planes bomb Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps in Libya. Planes make a bombing on Italy.
