France 1942 France Allied Landing Dieppe Disaster 21st Aug. 1942 : The British attack on Dieppe was a disaster and German radio boasted that there had been, “a complete liquidation of the British landing attempt.” According to a German broadcast from Berlin, “The attitude of the French population showed the fullest confidence in German defenses and considered the British action as a mere nuisance.”
Apparently, the stores opened at 6:00 p.m. and the inhabitants of Dieppe went on as normal, the broadcast claimed.
lol as my uncle had joined the Canadian Army and was taken captive there for 3 years and his wife in Chicago had no idea where he was. He told her one night he was going down to the store for some smokes. And he never came back for 6 years. He rang the doorbell when he got back.
She opened the door and nearly fainted. But she took him back and made him breakest that day after he said he was just out goofing around. Later the story did come out on what really happened.
