May - 1943
In November, the Allied Powers including the United States and France attacked areas in Northern Africa containing both Germany’s AfrikaKorps and troops of Vichy France – those French who decided to sign armistice and “ally” with Germany after France was occupied by the Germans. When the British and Americans encountered the French, there was little to write home about. However, the Germans soon put up a massive fighting force against the allies at locations such as Kasserine Pass. Apparently, the goal is for these allied nations to puncture the “soft underbelly” of Europe to establish a stronghold and begin charging at Nazi Germany’s “empire".
The Daily Mirror’s question is this – Is this operation the be-all/end-all of operations or will it prove to be a pointless venture for the United States and Britain. Our stance is that the allies should not waste time trying to “beat around the bush” of Nazi occupied territory. We need to strike where it matters! - The Atlantic Wall. Our Prime Minister scoffs at the idea and says it’s too risky. Then what, in the name of all things sacred, are we doing having a go at the Germans in the desert?! Why does it even matter? My loyal readers, I want to hear your take!
Are the Allies doing something worthwhile or it is a waste of men and material?
