Jubilee operation

19 août 1942,

The beach at Dieppe was the scene of one of the deadliest operations for the Allied side. Conceived as a landing, this operation’s main objective was to target communication centers and the port.

The majority of the troops were either British, French, Canadian, and a handful of American commandos, supported by British and Polish pilots, who were themselves facing the German mechsmitt.

Unfortunately, this operation was a failure; no vehicles were able to leave the beach.

Many men were killed or captured.

So, that’s all for now. The real purpose of this post is to introduce a landing other than the bloody Omaha, which was just as disastrous.

If you’re interested, there are two museums in Dieppe with photos of D-Day, newspapers from that day, and photos of Dieppe before and after.

There’s also a list of all the available aircraft.

This post is more for informational purposes than to express a genuine desire to see it included in Enlisted, but given the uncertainty, if it could end up in Enlisted, why not? This theater is very rarely, if ever, mentioned in the books!

So, Allied planes were fighting German planes, not tanks. I don’t know what the translator did to me.

The second photo was taken from Dieppe Castle, which was used by the Germans during World War II. If necessary, once the museums are restored, I will add more photos.

By the way, an hour from Dieppe there’s also Le Tréport which was also the site of a landing; it’s also where the German fortress (Kahl-Burg) is located. If you want me to elaborate on this idea, like this comment en masse!

While its an interesting battle for sure, and if we had a British Subfaction, it would be great, sadly we dont.

I think at the moment its not something worth thinking about, instead I would point to Italy or Sically, not only offering landing style maps, but far more as well, from Monte Casino onto the Gothic line and many other locations, not to mention the varied terrain Italy would have to offer would be fantastic, not to mention an amazing excuse to reintroduce the Italian subfaction, could also add a british subfaction at the same time.
