The raid on Dieppe in 1942 was a crutial point in the war and I believe it was a military succes. The reason why this raid took place was to win back France to open and eastern front because the Soviet's were suffering heavy losses. By opening a second front the nazis could be drawn away from the wesern front and the nazis could be easier to defeat because there would be less german men on each front. So on August 19th 1942 the alies landed on the beaches, they sufferend heavy losses however with this tremendous sacrifice they learned a great deal of knowledge which would benefit them greatly on D day almsot 2 years later. If this raid did not take place, the allies would have got crushed 2 years later when they tried again, the reality is if they didnt send these men at first, the allies wouldn't have known that they needed naval as well as aerial bombardemnt, better equipment, and more experience. For this 1 reason, I believe the raid on Dieppe was a militay succes.
Hey Graham, great post there. I agree the the raide on dieppe was a success aswell. I agree that if they didnt try the raid on dieppe that they wouldnt of learned the valuable leasons that led the allied forces to win D day. Good job pal

ReplyDeleteGraham, I love that you answered your classmates' questions. How do you know that the allies wouldn't have been successful without the Dieppe Raid?
