The war finally engulfs Casablanca as a massive Allied military operation catapults Morocco from the fringe of the conflict to its blazing center. In the shadows, legendary performer Josephine Baker continues her secret work for the Resistance, possibly crossing paths with Nelly in the underground networks shrouded in wartime secrecy. This pivotal chapter in World War II history—too often overlooked—picks up where the fictional film Casablanca dramatically ends, setting in motion critical developments that reshape Allied strategy for the remainder of the war.
