THE BATTLE OF DIEPPE

(The essay)

By: Thai Tran

The Battle of Dieppe was a very shameful thing for the Nation of Canada because of the military failure. The allied troops were mostly inexperienced or had very little experience to be in this battle. Many Canadians lost their lives in this bloody battle. If the General of the Allied forces took the time to prepare more and learn the defences of enemy better than maybe the battle would be different. This whole battle was so unorganized that there are no words to describe how bad the preparation was.

Many of the soldiers that were expected to go to overseas to fight had barely any experienced and they were lead by a poor General. Most of the soldiers had basic training, but it didn't help them in bomb exploding. All of them might have been waiting for a short time or some had to wait for 2 months before engaging into battle which took their life in an instant. If the Allied General was more aware of the battle 907 Canadians wouldn't lose their lives on August 9, 1942 in the battle of Dieppe. Instead of the soldiers sitting around they could have took the precautions of preparing for an attack such as having drills of actual attacks, etc.

There are ways of gaining information about the enemy's defence system. Instead of attacking an enemy without thinking of the consequences first there will be harsh outcomes in the end. If they thought through this whole attack they would know the outcome. What the General could of done is that send in some of the troops to see what would happen and then if nothing goes wrong with the plan than we could have a full attack. That should work. There are so much more that the Allied forces could have done to prevent what had happened.
