EDITORS COMMENTS
American troops of the 34th Infantry Division, resolute and determined, make a historic landing on the beaches at Surcouf. The year is 1942, and Operation Torch has just commenced - marking America's entry into the Mediterranean War. This powerful photograph captures a pivotal moment in history as these brave soldiers set foot on North African soil. With their landing craft approaching the shore, these troops face an uncertain future but remain steadfast in their mission to liberate Algeria from Axis control. The beachhead they establish here will serve as a launching point for further advances against enemy forces. The image showcases not only the courage of these soldiers but also highlights the logistical feat of amphibious warfare during World War II. As waves crash around them, it serves as a testament to their resilience and determination amidst chaos. This print transports us back to that fateful day on November 9th when American forces made significant strides towards victory.
