The plan to have Churchill's henchmen loved by Bernard? Lieutenant General Montgomery, who commanded it, believed that the plan called for an imaginative frontal offensive and should also include a large initial aerial bombardment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to the Canadian government, the British colonial government, which also jumped out to lick Churchill's stinky feet, they strongly demanded that the Canadian army participate in some operations, and Churchill fulfilled Canada's request, and the Canadian 2nd Infantry Division, commanded by Major General Roberts, was selected as the main force to participate in the war.

Armored support units, delivered by 14 new Churchill tanks of the 58th Armored Regiment (Calgary Regiment), delivered by new tank landing craft.

These tanks are a mix of tanks armed with QF2-pounder guns and tanks armed with QF6-pounder close-support howitzers. In addition, 3 Churchill tanks were equipped with flamethrower equipment and they were able to fight in shallow waters near the beach.

Intelligence in the area was sparse, with German machine-gun positions set up on cliffs, but none of them were seen or spotted by aerial reconnaissance photographers. Planners have assessed that beach gradients and tanks are only suitable for scanning snapshots, which leads to an underestimation of German strength and terrain.

The Germans, who were on high alert at Dieppe, had been warned by French double agents that the British were showing interest in the area. They also found an increase in radio communications and landing craft being concentrated in the southern coastal ports of the United Kingdom.

The cliffs on Dieppe and the flanks were well defended, although the 1,500-strong garrison came from the German 302nd Infantry Division, consisting of the 570th, 571st and 572nd Infantry Regiments.

Each regiment has 2 battalions, as well as the 302nd Artillery Battalion, the 302nd Reconnaissance Battalion, the 302nd Anti-Tank Battalion, the 302nd Engineer Battalion and the 302nd Signal Battalion.

They were deployed in Dieppe Beach and adjacent townships, covering all possible ascent sites. Under dense machine-gun, mortar and artillery protection, the city and the port were fully protected with concentration on the main roads, (especially in numerous cliff caves), and in the rear were equipped with reserves.

The garrison defenders, not only in the city itself, but also in the open areas and high ground between the towns overlook the entire beach. The German defense focused on building a wide defensive line throughout the perimeter.

Units of the 571st Infantry Regiment defended the radar station of Dieppe near Tuvile and had an artillery battery on the Liz River in Valangerville. To the west, the 570th Infantry Regiment was sent near the artillery battery of Belnevar.

The Luftwaffe units on the ground were the "2nd Fighter Wing" and the "26th Fighter Wing", with a total of 200 fighters, mostly FW190 fighters and about 100 bombers from the 2nd Bomber Wing, the 45th Bomber Wing and the 77th Bomber Wing, mainly DO217 bombers.

The landing in Dieppe will take place on four beaches, codenamed blue, red, white and green from east to west.

The Royal Canadian Regiment will land at Blue Beach, with the main landing taking place at Red and White Beach by the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry Regiment, the Essex Scotland Regiment, the "Royal Les Flint Regiment", the Royal Marine Corps Commando and the 14th Canadian Armored Regiment.

The South Saskatchewan and Queen's Canadian Cameron Highlands missions will disembark at Green Beach. The British fleet left the southern coast of England on the night of 8 July, and the minesweepers cleared the passage through the English Channel.

The fleet consisted of 8 destroyers, motor-gunboats escorted landing craft and motorboats. The initial landing began at 4.50 a.m. with two artillery batteries attacking both flanks of the main landing zone.

These measures included the attack on Valengville by Commando No. 4, the attack on Tuvile by the South Saskatchewan Regiment and the Queen's Canadian Cameron Heights Regiment, the attack on Pie by the Royal Canadian Regiment and the attack on Belneville by Commando No. 3.

The landing craft and escort vessels on the road towards Pierre and Belnevar encountered a small German convoy and exchanged fire at 3.48 a.m

Commando 3: John? The goal of Lieutenant Colonel Denford-Slater and the 3rd Commando Group was to make two landings 8 miles (13 km) east of Dieppe to isolate the coastal camp close to Bernéval.

The battalion could fire within 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Dieppe after landing. The 770-mm and 4 170-mm guns of the 2nd Company of the 175th Battalion had to leave when the main British forces approached the beach.

The landing craft transporting the 3rd Commando, approaching the eastern coast, did not attract the attention of the German Coast Patrol, which had been located at 9:30 p.m. by a radar station located on the British "mainland".

German torpedo boats fired torpedoes at some of the landing craft and de-powered the escorting high-speed gunboat No. 5.

Later the cockpit motorboat No. 346 and the landing craft anti-aircraft guns joined forces and drove away the German ships, but the landing group was dispersed with some losses, while the enemy's coastal defense line was discovered.

Only 18 commandos landed in the right place. Through Belnevar, they reached the perimeter of the battalion and fired at their targets using small arms.

Although it was impossible to destroy the artillery, their snipers, for a time managed to distract the battalion, the gunners fired frantically everywhere and the battalion did not sink any of the escort ships attacking Dieppe. The assault team was eventually forced to retreat in the face of the superiority of the enemy's forces.

4th Commando: Lieutenant Colonel Lowat and his 4th Commando Group (including 50 U.S. Rangers) were to make two landings 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Dieppe to distract the Coastal Company close to Valentville.

The troops landed on the right flank, climbed the steep slope and attacked and eliminated their targets, six 150-mm cannons of the artillery battery.

This was the only successful operation in Operation 50 Years. The assault team retreated at 7:30 a.m. as planned. Most of the members of the 4th Commando returned safely to the UK, and this part of the assault was considered a model for future commando attacks.

The Duke of Lovat was awarded the Order of Distinguished Service for his actions in this part, and the captain of the 4th Commando, Patrick? Portius, awarded the Victoria Cross.

Blue Beach: A naval clash between a small German convoy and the 3rd Commando Group has alerted the German defenders at Blue Beach.

The landing near Le Piy consisted of the Royal Canadian Regiment plus 3 platoons from the Canadian Black Guard Regiment and 1 artillery detachment to pin down and protect the Dieppe Beach machine gun and artillery batteries.

They were delayed for 20 minutes, and the smoke screen that should have hidden their attack had dissipated. With the sudden superiority and the darkness of the night gone, the Germans had moved into their defensive positions to meet the landing operation.

Fortified German forces were deployed to block Canadian troops who had landed on the beach. When they reached the shore, the Canadians found themselves pinned down by the defenders of the seawall and unable to advance. The Royal Canadian Regiment was annihilated, of the regiment's 2556 men, 1200 people died, and the rest were captured.

Green Beach: At the same time at Green Beach, the 4th Commando Group had landed, and the South Saskatchewan regiment led the way to Tuvere.

They landed at 4:52 a.m. and were not detected. The regiment managed to get away from the landing craft before the Germans opened fire.

Unfortunately, on the way, some of the landing craft had already deviated from the original landing zone, and most of the battalion's forces were west of the Liz River rather than east.

Because they had landed in the wrong place, and the destination of the regiment was the hilly strip east of the village, the only bridge to cross the river into Tuvilie.
