On of the worst battles if not the worst in Canadian history. I know it shows British flags, but the allies had commandos while Canada had the infantry, suffering over 50% casualties.
And just think, this was merely a learning exercise and a way to show commitment to landing to the Russians. They intended to only hold a short period, destroy things and leave. Yet the RAF lost more planes than the Germans and so many died. The only good thing might have come from this is glaring weaknesses in how the Allies planned a landing were seen, and this made them change all the future landing plans which helped save many many more lives.
I'm pretty sure Churchill was pressured by the Canadian government to deploy Canadian troops there. By that point in the war, Canadians hadn't seen any action in Europe and the Canadian gov wanted a PR victory
Churchill was under pressure by an impatient Canadian government to use the Canadian military. Not just that but there were more British casualties on Gallipoli than there were ANZAC soldiers so your statement really is bollocks
I've studied this battle since its 25th anniversary in 1967. Your graphics are misleading. You have more British flags (Union Jacks) than Canadian Red Ensigns on the two central beaches (White and Red). Those beaches were attacked by the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, Essex Scottish, Fusiliers Mount Royale and the Calgary Tanks; all units of the Canadian Army's 2nd Division. The only British troops on those beaches were a small force Royal Marine "A" Commandos. Yellow beach on the extreme right of the map shows a Canadian flag where in actuality it was assaulted by # 3 Commando of the British Army. Since this action saw heavy casualties suffered by the Canadian troops especially on their assault of the Dieppe harbour, it would be appropriate to see the scale of their involvement properly acknowledged. Also, the Canadian Troops at Puys (Blue Beach) were pinned down at the shore line. Your video shows them progressing inland. That clearly wasn't the case.
I haven't researched this battle so I'm not sure of the objectives so I'm basing my opinion purely from this video, but it appears to be a canadian defeat considering the massive casualty difference.@@cpj93070
The majority of boots on the ground were Canadian but your comment is too simplistic. Lord Louis Mountbatten and his British combined operations command planned this raid. General Montgomery, the RAF and RN cut down the strength of the assets they were willing to commit to the plan. The raid under the title "Operation Rutter" was all set to go in June and was cancelled after the troops were already onboard the transport ships. Then, thanks to the brilliant strategy of Combined OPs, the raid was remounted under the designation "Operation Jubilee" on August 19, 1942 despite the fact that all the units involved had known that Dieppe was the objective and that they would likely be talking about it afterwards. The Canadian Army was untried in combat. It had not been engaged since arriving in England in 1940 so there was political pressure to have them do something significant and Churchill wanted something to show Stalin that the western allies weren't just letting the Soviets fight the Nazis on their own. For Canada and Canadians Dieppe was one of the worst days of the war along with the Defense of Hong Kong (also mandated by Churchill and agreed to by politicians). It was an allied defeat despite the valiant efforts of the all the forces involved, Canadian, British and let's not forget the 50 US Rangers who participated as well. Dieppe is the reason the allied invasion of Normandy was directed against beaches and not a significant channel port.
@@AmritDillon Wrong Indian boy, course you would say that about The British as they were your masters, Just because Britain had a quarter of the world as an empire you are going to have clowns like yourself hate on the country that ruled you for hundreds of years, you get pathetic clowns, that even blame the British people today for the British empire of the past.
it was a failure in statistics but considerable knowledge was gathered for D-Day not even 2 years later. A lot of unknowns became knowns that couldn't have been found out without performing this raid.
Like what? Enemies also change their defenses after an attack. What did the allies learn? How not to get killed the next time around? Which road gets us to Paris faster? I've read that this "raid" was only a probe into the german defenses. Did Hitler divert a large portion of his forces to counter this in 1942? No, most were on the march to Stalingrad. It wasnt until the american landings in italy that a significant amount of german forces were redirected to fight on the western front. This raid only killed the doomed allied soldiers that participated in it. Mostly Canadian.
@@frogman1941 Attacking Calais, Dieppe or any harbor city near Britain was a bad idea. That's how they were able to see that Normandy was the best place for an invasion
Your country lost few thousand people. Poland lost 30k civilians and officers (selected and murdered by soviets 1940 with intention to destroy polish intelligentsia) and Germans caused death of 6 million our citizens(1939-45). After that allies betrayed us and we had to suffer under communist occupation next few decades.

My grandfather was supposed to be on the invading force but got appendicitis a few days before. I probs wouldn't be here if it werent for a fucked up appendix
@@kidfox3971it was a bad plan, but ultimately something like this had to happen or the lessons learnt at Dieppe could not be applied to D-Day. The Dieppe raid saved lives at Normandy
@@kidfox3971 Yes, conducting a small scale raid to prepare for the largest amphibious landing the world had ever seen is a stupid plan. Better to just run D-Day blind......
It was mostly infantory not commandos the canadians also forced this amount of casualties by forcing churchill to be included. Also the canadians were killed once they got to shore forcing the raid to have failed
@@Genevasplaytime The brits were not even close to “Just as powerful” as germany lmao. If you didn’t have the lend-lease, all of Britain would be speaking German this very instant.
@@Razmattaz_ Battle of Britain occured in 1940. America started getting involved in 1941. Im fairly certain the British RAF was more powerful than the German Luftwaffe considering they held out for that long without US support.

@@adrian.y.y.y what history class are you in? The british settled the island in 1764, while their stay was tenious, the british never relinquished control of these islands Meanwhile argentina first asserted their claim in 1820, which is laughable
Если бы Германия, не отвлекаясь на СССР, успела сделать реактивные самолёты, ракеты и атомную бомбу, то Британии точно был бы конец, а США тупо не вписались бы за Британию и предпочли с Гитлером договориться, обосравшись и спрятавшись за Атлантикой! Так что СССР реально помог союзникам победить раньше и спасти тем самым свою задницу!
У союзников было много просчетов в тактике и логистике, и не только. А немцы просто использовали это и особенности рельефа, и делали упор на оборону потом контратаку
Короче немцы были немцами, а союзники были союзниками. Получили в бубен и решили подождать, пока большая часть элитных фрицев передохнет на восточном фронте, а потом кинуть в десятки раз больше войск в последний год войны иии... Профит! Операция удалась, даже не почувствовали, всем спасиба, львы, тигры, вся хуня.
@@Miro.A.Mursu- Everybody remember the old one, I don't know why... No, not the same thing at all. The fact is that Dieppe is a deep and painful memory for Canada and that the video should mention it clearly at one point would have been a better choice.
@@johncenter4858 Well first: The video is going to be more successful when people in the comments talk about Canada instead of it being sayd in the video Second: we cant deny history here so its better to have the flag they had back then
@@johncenter4858 No Canada had THAT flag back then so it should stick to what is had for historical reasons. Because then you would have people saying how historically inaccurate it is with the present day flag.
@@nameless7699 this wasnt supposed to be successful though, it's a raid to see how germany reacts to invasion and also germany's war tactics against naval invasions

It was short because the Dieppe raid was also very short, only one day. And also the truth is that you are much more lazy than him, at least he has tried to create content while you are just babbling in the comments😂
