SYMBOL, codename for the Allied conference held from 14 to 24 January 1943 at a hotel complex in Anfa, a suburb of Casablanca in French Morocco. Churchill and Roosevelt, and the
Combined Chiefs of Staff, were present, and Generals
Alexander and
Eisenhower also took part in some of the discussions which centred primarily on future strategy (see
Grand Alliance). Stalin was invited, but he declined because of the critical situation at
Stalingrad. The Allied policy of
unconditional surrender was first announced there, and the decision to launch a
Combined Bomber Offensive from the UK against Germany, was made.
De Gaulle and
Giraud, who then represented different factions of the French armed forces opposing the
Vichy French regime, were, with difficulty, brought together to attempt a political settlement between them, and this eventually led to the formation of the
French National Committee for Liberation.
