Dieppe: A Necessary Failure Buckton Henry
The Allied assault on the German-occupied port of Dieppe in France, code-named Operation Jubilee, took place on 19 August 1942. The German defences had been underestimated. It was a battle that lasted for less than ten hours but it has gone down in history as a military disaster, often spoken of in the same manner as the Charge of the Light Brigade and Gallipoli.
The Third Reich considered the raid as a military joke and it provided a textbook of 'what not to do' in future amphibious operations. The numbers killed, wounded and taken prisoner at Dieppe were shockingly high and none of the main objectives were realised. Dieppe was the largest tri-service operation ever mounted up until that point, and even if the planning for the operation was woefully inadequate, it showed that the three services could coordinate their movements under one command.
