DIEPPE - AUG 19 1942
Operation Jubilee,
the Dieppe Raid was very costly for Canadian forces but valuable lessons were learned in planning future operations, especially D-Day.
Background
Background
***********
1942 was the worst year of the war for the Allies.
Great Britain could not boast a single victory in the field.
British and Commonwealth troops in North Africa were being
contained and driven back by the Africa Corps. In the Far
East the Japanese were dismembering and occupying
substantial parts of the former British Empire.
The Americans were still feeling the after effects
of their material losses at Pearl Harbour and struggling
to maintain what was left of their Philippine Army and
the Russians were being steadily pushed back as Hitler
developed his thrust into the Caucusus. The immediate
outlook was bleak.
It was against this menacing background that the Dieppe
raid was planned and executed.
As the troops landed the RAF went into action but the
results of the initial ground attacks were disappointing
with few weapon positions on the headlands being knocked
out and neither battery seriously affected, although the
smoke laid by the bombers did give a measure of protection
to the assault forces while it lasted. The early missions
encountered no German aircraft a there was light mist over
the German airfields but as the day wore on increasing
numbers of German Bf109 and Fw190 fighters began to
make their presence felt all over the area.
JG 2 was in intensive action during the operation,
flying 430 operations, losing 14 aircraft
(8 pilots killed) and claiming 59 Allied aircraft shot down
We will model the operation in near real time.
