re The Dieppe Raid (Operations Rutter and Jubilee)

Introduction:

In this entry I continue to share news articles, photographs, movie ads, etc., from The Winnipeg Tribune as published - and delivered to your door if you're an elderly Winnipegger - during the week of September 1 - 7, 1942, about two weeks after the running of the Dieppe Raid on August 19th. Some items directly relate to the raid, whereas other material provides information about specific events (e.g., re battle for Stalingrad) on various war fronts. One item touches on a little known fact about lobsters.

The Trib archives can be perused at your leisure by clicking here.

The report above is from 'early days' after the event: "Although extremely valuable lessons were learned in the Raid on Dieppe, a steep price was paid. Of the 4,963 Canadians who embarked for the operation, only 2,210 returned to England, and many of these were wounded. There were 3,367 casualties, including 1,946 prisoners of war; 916 Canadians lost their lives.

Some events in Spain may turn out "better for the Allies":

At the approximate mid-point of World War II, Hitler is 'scouring Europe', "with no source too small to be tapped."

While Hitler is scouring for manpower Canadians (in all forces) are making their presence felt:  

Oh Sue, what's wrong?

This large 'Canadian-built GM' advertisement comes with a very interesting story attached, concerning one of a few Canadian correspondents who covered the Dieppe Raid 'up close.' We read "Today's war correspondents aren't satisfied to write their despatches from behind lines."

Others who were at Dieppe:

Another Canadian Press Staff Writer has his eye on a good story:
