"I have no doubt that the Battle of Normandy was won on the beaches of Dieppe. For every man who died in Dieppe, at least 10 more were spared in Normandy in 1944." - Lord Louis Mountbatten "Dieppe should occupy a place of it's own in the story of war. Casualties alone should not classify it as a failure. The sacrifice of the brave men who fell was not in vain." - Winston Churchill "My impression of 'Jubilee' [Dieppe] is that the results fully justified the heavy cost" "[Dieppe] was a Canadian contribution of the greatest significance to final victory" - Winston Churchill

The Raid on Dieppe was launched by the Allies to find out what was needed to make a full-scale allied invasion across the English channel a success. However, because the Canadian army failed so badly, the allies could not test what they wanted to test.
About 6,600 landed, and over 3,400 died. (about 1/3)
Dieppe taught the Allies that heavy air and strong sea support would be required for any future invasion in of France. Some historians think that the lessons learned in Dieppe saved lives on the beaches of Normandy later on. :)
