	Juno Beach Centre - The Dieppe Raid
		Dieppe was a seaside resort in Normandy, built along a long cliff that overlooked the Channel.
		The Dieppe fiasco demonstrated that it was imperative to improve communications at all levels: on the battlefield, between the HQs of each unit, between air, naval and ground forces.
		In addition, the raid on Dieppe showed how important it was to use prior air bombings to destroy enemy defences as much as possible, to support assault troops with artillery fire from ships and landing crafts, to improve techniques and equipment to remove obstacles to men and tanks.

	Dieppe
		Dieppe was not thought to be heavily defended and it was considered that, with tank support in the front line, this force would be sufficient to accomplish the raid's objectives.
		After the Dieppe raid Allied planners were forced to review their previously held supposition that the capture of a significant port was an essential precursor to an invasion of mainland Europe.

	WarMuseum.ca - A Chronology of Canadian Military History - Dieppe, 1942
		The Canadian raid on the French coastal town of Dieppe was a catastrophe.
		At dawn on 19 August 1942, nearly 5000 Canadian troops supported by British commandos assaulted the port and the neighbouring villages of Puys and Pourville.
		Some historians insist that the lessons learned at Dieppe contributed to the success of later Allied landings; others argue the raid was just a poorly-planned blunder.

	Operation Jubilee: The Disaster at Dieppe — Part 1 19 August 1942
		Intelligence indicated that Dieppe was not particularly heavily defended and that the beaches in the vicinity were suitable for the landing of infantry and tanks.
		The troops could also move to Dieppe directly in their assault craft, avoiding the need for them to be transferred from landing ship to assault craft.
		As the plan that was to be implemented slowly slipped from that originally envisaged, the great pre-assault bombardment by the RAF's heavy bombers and the Navy's battleship became further and further diluted until it was reduced to fighter-bomber raids and strafing attacks by Hurricanes and light selected gunfire by destroyers and a gunboat.
