before the normandy landings of 1944, an amphibious raid was launched by the allies on dieppe, normandy.
on 19 august 1942, a force of 5000 canadian and 1000 british soldiers landed at dieppe. they immediately came under attack from german troops. within a few hours 4000 of the men were killed, wounded or captured. the raid was a complete failure. it was undertaken because, with the germans operating deep in the soviet union, the russians were urging the allies to relieve the pressure on them by opening a second front in europe.
allied commanders later claimed that the dieppe raid was a necessary precursor to the normandy landings, and that valuable lessons were learned. however, historians have argued that the lessons could have been predicted, and the lives of brave soldiers were wasted.
