Dieppe France. A raid by British commandoes & Canadian forces, it was a failure, but it would have lessons which would be important in D Day, 2 years later. It did show that the taking of an intact French seaport was impossible to achieve. The fact that the Allies were still using the temporary Mulberry harbour in Normandy by the time they were in Belgium bears this out.....
