One of the Little Ships that went over to help sailed out of my home town in the UK. Hastings Sussex there was a big battle there in 1066. http://www.adls.org.uk/t1/node/566 "Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need" Will Rogers SIG 229R LEGION SAO SIG 226R Elite SAO SIG 226R DA/SA SIG 938 SAS SAO | |||

They did make a movie about Dieppe, creatively titled, "Dieppe." Edited to add: Sorry, not a movie. A Canadian mini-series. | |||

Dieppe what a disaster. "Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need" Will Rogers SIG 229R LEGION SAO SIG 226R Elite SAO SIG 226R DA/SA SIG 938 SAS SAO | |||

They're after my Lucky Charms! |
I saw the CBC mini series Dieppe. It was good. This movie looks great. I cannot wait to see it. Lord, your ocean is so very large and my divos are so very f****d-up Dirt Sailors Unite! | |||

I'm a huge WW2 nerd. Of course I'm excited to see this. 
As disastrous as the Dieppe raid was, it provided the opportunity for the Allies to learn some much-needed lessons on amphibious assaults. Without Dieppe, the Allies likely would not have been as successful during the landings in North Africa 3 months later, Italy 1 year later, and Normandy two years later. | |||

All you seem to be interesting about is the Movie. What about the poor soldiers,sailors,airman and civilians that died!!!!!! You Americans need to go to Europe to see where all this stuff actual happened.

Like so many events in WWII, I cannot conceive of the horror that was Dunkirque. Just the stench and noise would be a challenge to shut out. And wondering if you are getting home or not. The same is true for Crete, Iwo, Peliliu, Stalingrad, Tarawa, Tobruk, and dozens of other places known today for being a place where men died in vast numbers. And then there is the bomber war. Missions like Dresden, Polesti, Schweinfurt, and anywhere Lancasters flew. They were extraordinary men and women.

And you Brits need to stop painting with such a broad brush. Not all of us are your stereotypical shortsighted, historically-ignorant "Yanks". Many of us happen to be well-versed in history. Besides, not every thread has to necessarily be a meaningful discussion of the horrors of history and the tragic fates suffered by the people involved. (We have plenty of those, too.) There's also room for a superficial discussion of an interesting upcoming film, like this one. Much like we can have threads on guns without every post involving a deep discussion about the awful things that countless people throughout history have suffered that involved firearms. | |||

It doesn't become American history until 1941. We spend far to much time worried about other folks business. Even in 1941, if we had sat out the war in Europe, a lot of our grandfathers would have lived. America for Americans! | |||

America was involved in WW2 well before December 7th, 1941.
World history is our history. You can't just try to view it through a lens of "America only", ignoring the rest. It's all interconnected.
Our entry into the war against Germany was inevitable, and absolutely necessary. Sitting it out wasn't an option. | |||

I seem to remember Hitler saying how he was impressed with how America dealt with the Native Americans. So it is really something when a guy like him is impressed with how we handled genocide. | |||

John Toland wrote in his biography of Hitler:
Hitler also had a lifelong fondness for "Cowboys and Indians" pulp fiction novels. | |||
