British and American soldiers and sailors land on coast of North Africa during World War II's Operation Torch

The video describes a successful military operation involving American sailors who had to swim to safety but were rescued in good spirits. The landing operations were well-coordinated, with numerous small crafts transporting men and materials between ships and the shore. The occupation of the beach at Shokuhfar, a suburb of Algiers, was executed smoothly due to extensive practice.
