~ OPERATION JUBILEE ~
DIEPPE - AUG 19 1942
Operation Jubilee,
There was, therefore, unbearable pressure on Churchill and the British Chiefs of Staff to develop and execute an offensive operation on the Western front - an operation that would, it was hoped, either draw German divisions from the Russian front, or at least hold the existing divisions in France in place thus preventing additional reinforcements being sent to the East.
It was against this menacing background that the Dieppe raid was planned and executed.
the Dieppe Raid was very costly for Canadian forces but valuable lessons were learned in planning future operations, especially D-Day.
