(...) magazines that were published during the war for North African Muslim troops, mainly Algerians, serving in the French armed forces. These publications were bilingual, with one cover and part of the texts in French, the other cover and texts in Arabic. Until the end of the war, they were printed by the Imprimerie Jules Carbonel in Algiers, a printing house that often published works aimed at building French understanding of the culture and languages of Algeria. The first of these magazines was given the name, Ya Allah! (...) The second magazine, An Nasr (Victory), started in June 1943, some seven months after Operation Torch, when American forces landed in Morocco and Algeria, and just after the Allied forces had driven the Germans and Italians out of Tunisia. It would continue publication until 1946.
