By 1942, the war was no longer another great European conflict. It was now a firmly global affair enveloping all of the world’s great powers as the Allies squared off against the tyranny and aggression of the Axis nations. Against such colossal forces, no one country could stand alone and events that affected one combatant would ultimately have consequences for the other further down the road.
To that end, while the western Allies and the Soviet Union were effectively fighting separate wars against the same enemy, there needed to be cooperation between the two fronts in order to squeeze the life out of Nazi Germany and insure victory against Fascism. However, the relationship was often a strained one as both Allied power blocks were suspicious of the other’s intentions once the war was over.
Thus, we come to the subject of today’s episode and a story of the war that is still the subject of much debate today. It was an operation with no specific military objective other than to experiment with conducting division-sized amphibious landings against a fortified beach and as a gesture to the Soviet Union who were starting to feel abandoned by their Allies. It is an operation that has become seared into the hearts and minds of the Canadian people for the sacrifice they were asked to make for it.

Believe it or not, I'm 38yo french and it's the first time I hear about this raid, even at school they don"t speak about this, I just learned this by reading Wikipedia. We should honor the memory of those heroes. This was suicidal mission, respect to the brave Canadians and Brits who fought there.

This was the first time Americans engaged on the Continent with the Germans. Too bad they were operating under the inept command of the British, and outdated reconnaissance. Even so, the detachment they were assigned to was mostly successful in achieving their objectives. For this reason, we learned about this in school…. at least 50 years ago when I was in school, we did.

My dad was a Yank who crossed the border and enlisted in the Canadian Army after the fall of France in 1940. He was a Sgt. in the Essex Scottish, captured at Dieppe. He survived nearly three years as a POW and the brutal winter march toward the end of the war. He was liberated in late April 1945.

This is why we train and rehearse as much as we can in the military, because both the enemy and Murphy get a vote in how the battle will go and both must be countered with all the skill and strength we can muster.

'Dicky' Mountbatten considered himself unable to make mistakes. He went on after the war to supervise the division the Indian Empire into India and Pakistan, leading to millions of deaths. The man was an oaf.

There was another documentary that suggested Dieppe was an four-rotor Enigma machine grab. There was an Enigma machine in the harbour, and one of the goals for the commandos was to grab it. Wikipedia says this was one of the goals, but the whole operation was NOT a cover for the Enigma "pinch".

@andrewbird57 8 ай бұрын

It was a cover operation to pinch an enigma. The historian who uncovered this is David O'Keefe. My dad was captured at Dieppe. It took me awhile to come around to O'Keefe's analysis, but I believe he is correct.

The idea that Dieppe provided valuable lessons for the invasion of Normandy is so much self-serving rubbish. It was just an excuse to rationalise Mountbatten's incompetence.In order to examine what could go wrong in an amphibious operation, all the senior Allied commanders had to do is look at what transpired at Gallipoli in World War One. Churchill would have possessed intimate knowledge of the abortive nature of that particular operation having been one of its principle planners. In short, the Dieppe raid represents a prime example of Allied bungling and mendacity.

@paulwoodman5131 2 ай бұрын

This raid was planned ,executed, It could not succeed, to succeed Would force the allies to proceed with an invasion. The raid had some success. The guns shut down. They did deliver tanks to the beach. I'd read the radar station was burglized of some parts, but not what they really wanted. 50 rangers wear set out US rangers their first deployment as rangers. They went with British commando. Only 10 actually got ashore. The casualty rate of this raid is even worse when you consider the troops that did not go ashore. This film said 10,000 deployed of that about 5000 went ashore. About 2 thousand prisoners, not quite 1000 dead 80% of the rest wounded. Failed to mention the prisoner of war issue that started here with the Canadians and the Germans. Some goofball Canadian general went ashore with the plans on them. It mentioned binding German POWs for the capture. Germany obviously took offense to this and bound all Canadian prisoners after that in chains approximately 2 years. So , awful treatment because a general foolishly carried raid plans on the beach and was captured. . Canadians were also binding Germans for a time.

I understand you were trying to frame it as though the Dieppe Raid produced some manner of instantly appreciable Allied intelligence victory--but do you really think that the cut telephone lines weren't replaced by the German signals outfit manning the radar installation within two hours, tops? Or that the crew (as they were specially trained to operate top-secret, vital intelligence-collecting technology and, once collected, to forward that intel to the appropriate entity) weren't expressly forbidden to communicate their secret radar data by any less-than absolutely secure means, such as radio? If nothing else, then in light of the fact that the British had already demonstrated how keen they were for German radar intel with two previous commando raids on similar Atlantic Wall installations in France already that year??
