After the USA declared war on Nazi Germany, Churchill is feeling more secure again. But he needs another success - the Brits are becoming tired from holding out all the time, while Hitler is still strong. At the moment, it's not even sure whether Russia can save Moscow.

During autumn 1943, plans are made for an American-British invasion in North Africa - essentially the equivalent of OTL Torch. Since there's no Dieppe in TTL, they're ready at the beginning of 1944. Morocco and Algeria fall.

Now there's the Vichy Regime. Hitler wants them to send troops (they don't have that much, only 100000 men all in all, but for Hitler it's better than nothing) to North Africa to fight against the Allies. If they don't, he'll occupy Vichy France. Similar as OTL again - but this time, Hitler's troops are standing stronger in Russia and the Middle East, and Moscow isn't saved yet.

I still wonder whether Petain would've decided the same way as OTL...
