Occasional you stumble across something while looking for something else. When I found this - I forgot what was looking for in the first place after hours of reading pieces of history that have details was not aware of. Excellent site for looking at the whole early war in the MED and North Africa in WWII!! Be forewarned - this site rates OUTSTANDING!

Ever since I took c g s o c oh, I have been more interested in the North Africa campaign. Remember we had to do a discussion and was given a crude operations Order of Operation Torch?

Yes - it was my real first learning of Torch as well. I read an Army at Dawn and grasped alot of what I had missed out in history back in CGSC when was in the Joint Course. Had that book just been written a few years before! And yet all my studies really looked at the tactical - operational level.... it never looked at the MED as a whole as Operational Level... which the Axis did. If you focus on our Theater operations - like I did - you fail to gain the bigger picture of how it was all tied in. Today that would be like any operation that falls on a fault line between two GCCs - you may have a full CENTCOM view.... but you miss out how AFRICOM ended up being the place the fight is in now.
