Discuss operation TORCH.

Operation TORCH kept being delayed for various reasons. TORCH was the code name for the invasion of French North Africa. At this time, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Force, was in London making plans for the D-day invasion. TORCH called for three different groups to invade French North Africa by sea, land and air units. Eisenhower warned against the operation saying they would have the same problems as they had at Dieppe.
