US Analysis of Operation Torch

I recently discovered a very interesting document concerning Operation Torch.

 

It includes reports compiled to highlight problems with the Torch landings with a view to improve future operations.

 

Its a long read, so in this post I have attempted to draw out some of the more interesting aspects of this document.

I picked up this book from the library in an attempt to broaden my knowledge of the WW2 Italian campaign.

I'm so glad that I did.
