The Dieppe Raid, August 19, 1942 was a predominantly Canadian attack on the German-occupied port of Dieppe on the north coast of France. No major objectives of the raid were accomplished. Of the over 6000 men who landed, more than half were casualties, making the raid a recognized Allied disaster. Yet despite, or perhaps because of the appalling Canadian sacrifice, the raid has been called a "Rehearsal for D-Day" (June 6, 1944) in that the bitter lessons taken from the debacle were successfully applied two years later in the invasion of Hitler's Fortress Europe and the ultimate destruction of the Third Reich.
