Titolo: The Germans and the Dieppe Raid Condizione: Nuovo Formato: Copertina rigida Title Format: Hardback SubtÃtulos: How Hitler's Wehrmacht Crushed Operation Jubilee EAN: 9781399030601 ISBN: 9781399030601 Publisher: Pen & Sword Military Data di pubblicazione: 24/04/2023 Description: The German part in the 19 August 1942 Dieppe raid has largely been ignored. Launched by Winston Churchill to appease his Soviet counterparts, Operation JUBILEE was one of the Allies' greatest debacles of the war. The majority of the 6,100 soldiers and marines dispatched by Lord Louis Mountbatten were captured or killed. Just 2,211 of the 4,963 Canadians involved returned to England. Two years later the Canadian Army fought from Normandy into Germany with fewer men captured than at Dieppe.By exploring the German experience, this superbly researched book provides answers to previously unasked operational questions. How well were the Nazi occupiers prepared for an attack on Dieppe? What threat did the raid pose to the Germans' defence of mainland Europe? What lessons did the Wehrmacht learn, and did their High Command use the Dieppe experience when preparing for the inevitable Allied invasion of Fortress Europe'? How did Hitler and his henchmen respond to the Western Allies' failure to break down their defences in occupied western Europe? The book also addresses how Goebbels' propaganda machine exploited the victory, and the reaction of the German people.Drawing on extensive German source materials, the Wehrmacht's role in defeating Operation JUBILEE is comprehensively examined in fascinating detail, adding a new dimension to the history of this poorly-planned and under-resourced adventure.
