Remembrance Moments
Canada Remembers the Dieppe Raid
The Second World War August 1942
Germany controls most of Europe

The Allies launch a major raid

Against the enemy at Dieppe, France
Nearly 5000 Canadians lead the attack


But German forces are ready


Many men are cut down before landing


Hundreds more die on shore

Less than 10 hours later
The battle is over
With more than 3350 Canadian casualties

Including some 1950 taken prisoner

The hard lessons of Dieppe


Saved countless Allied lives
Two years later
During the D-Day landings
That helped end the war
