The Unraveling of Military Strategies, Thinking and Nations Article by WorldNews.com Correspondent Dallas Darling.

Unlike Canadian soldiers who in 1944 marched triumphantly into Dieppe after having defeated Nazi forces, two years earlier on August 19 Allied troops tried to land at the French port. It became one of the greatest military disasters in history. In just a few hours, a courageous assault led by Canadian troops against the mainland of Nazi-occupied Europe ended. The attack, consisting of a Canadian Division, suffered an eighty-percent casualty rate. Of the 6,000 men who made it ashore,... Click here for more details. |
