    CONCLUSION
    “I personally regard the Dieppe assault, to which I gave my
    sanction, as an indispensable preliminary to full-scale operations.”

    “Honour to the brave that fell. Their sacrifice was not in vain”

    Churchill

    “The English may try to land at any time of the day, even at low tide….
    Just as the defending force has gathered valuable experience from the
    action at Dieppe so has the assaulting force. Just as we are going to
    evaluate these experiences for the future so is the assaulting force going
    to do the same, perhaps even more so because it has gained this
    experience dearly. We must therefore count on the enemy being smarter
    next time with still more means at his disposal…. He will not do it like this
    a second time!”

    Field Marshal von Rundstedt
