[edit]
Description
English: During Operation Torch, the US troops faced intense resistance from French Army in the region of Port-Lyautey in Morocco. This was due to the French High Commandment in Morocco who stayed loyal to Pétain. After 3 days of fierce fighting, finally the order came from French Commandment in North Africa to stop all hostilities against US and UK troops. Finally the cease-fire was decided on November 11th, 1942 at 4:00am and the french and american generals met to discuss surrender of the french troops and their enrollment in the allied forces.
