In an extremely risky mission Mark Clark, a general that knew more than anyone about Operation Torch and knew about ULTRA, was sent to negotiate with the pro-Allied Vichy French in North Africa and was extracted successfully. What if the pro-Axis Vichy French got wind of the meeting and captured him and the pro-Allied French leaders, turning them over to the Gestapo? Would it be likely that Gen. Clark would reveal ULTRA information in addition to Torch plans? What would the Allies do knowing that he and the pro-Allied Vichy French were compromised?
