In all fairness, Dieppe was a raid. It not intended to take and
hold territory, but rather only as a test of the German's
defenses. Dieppe did establish that any Allied invasion of
Europe would mean coming across the beach and not by capturing
and using a sea port.
Dieppe had its value, and its cost. Was it worth it? I don't
know.

I don't think the Canadians were all that happy about it either Art.
