Renseignement sur l’attitude des Juifs auprès des autorités américaines, Alger, 16 novembre 1942
Description
This report describes the attitude of the Jews who “would work actively with the American authorities to discredit the Muslims […] the still very opportunistic Jews are determined to take advantage of the coming of the Americans in Algeria to” do business “. There is an obvious lack of demeanor and discipline among American soldiers. The report indicates numerous incidents of soldiers trying to abuse women and young girls. The prefecture of Algiers asks the French police authorities to exercise a close watch over drinking establishments and suggests that US authorities organize patrols in the city to monitor their nationals.
