Assembled below are 9 entries I have produced - using news from The Winnipeg Tribune - concerning the Dieppe Raid which occurred on August 19, 1942. Six entries focus on Operation Jubilee and three provide some information about Operation Rutter, the first attempt to get the raid off the ground. However, the first attempt was cancelled in early July, 1942.
I have provided links to many more items related to the Dieppe Raid in the section related to "Books re Combined Operations" (see right hand margin: go to 'click on Headings' and click on A - Z Directory Start here: go to the directory section re "Books re Combined Operations".
I recommend one particular book - among several others - entitled "Dieppe Dieppe" by B. Greenhous (link)
