The Dieppe Raid took place at the seaside town of Dieppe, in France. It was on August 19th 1942. About 950 Canadian Soldiers were killed in action that day, and 2,340 were captured or wounded. The Canadians were only able to get a few hundred yards inland, due to the high sea wall, and the heavy German fire. The 35 tanks that they brought ashore were bogged down in the small stones that made up the beach. The stones jammed the tank tracks so they couldn't get off the beach either. A terrible waste of good men.
