Battle of Dieppe (Operation Jubilee)
The Dieppe Raid, also known as operation Jubilee, was an Allied attack on the German-occupied port of Dieppe. The raid took place on the northern coast of France on 19 August 1942. Objectives included seizing and holding the port for a short period, both to prove it was possible and to gather intelligence from prisoners and too capture materials. The assault began at 5:00a.m. and by 10:50a.m. the Allied commanders were forced to withdrawal.
Although the primary objective was not met, knowledge regarding a coastal assault on France was gained and the German response was analyzed. Dieppe did provide occupied Europe, the resistance and the Soviet Union of the Allied commitment to the eventual liberation of Western Europe. The events at Dieppe later influenced operational preparations and tactics for the North African, Italian and Normandy landings.
