[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4277370, member: 44288"] An interesting article on the Atlantic Wall and an invasion of France in 1942 no one remembers. [B]On August 19, 1942, British and Canadian forces launched Operation Jubilee, a massive and incredibly bloody raid on the French port of Dieppe. The raid was a jumble of objectives, with some brief successes, but ultimately the terrible sting of brutal losses. On the Allied side, Lord Mountbatten justified the losses at Dieppe as a down payment on the successes achieved on the Normandy beaches: “I have no doubt that the battle of Normandy was won on the beaches of Dieppe. For every man who died at Dieppe, at least 10 more must have been spared in Normandy in 1944.”[/B] [URL]https://www.thearmorylife.com/d-day-defeating-nazi-atlantic-wall/?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
