The second article I have read is called, “Land With Tanks, Heavy Weapons; Wage Fierce Fight With Boches In Dynamic Dieppe Area Attack” based on the attempted raid on Dieppe in August of 1942.  Again, I was drawn to this article because I am fascinated by war history.  My great grandparents and great, great uncles all took part in world war 2 and did what they could to serve for this country.  The article really portrays the time era in the way its written grammatically, and reads how the attack was pro-dominantly Canadian soldiers on the raid.  This article gives only the detail that the government wanted the people to hear.  It tells how Dieppe was a large success when in reality it was a extremely ill advised attack that resulted in 907 deaths and over 2000 Canadians either injured or captured.  The objective of the raid on Dieppe was to relieve pressure on the USSR on the other side of Germany and to test the strength of the German defense on the western coast, which it did not accomplish and only boosted the moral of the  Germans. This article makes me feel very fortunate to be living in the time that I am because at this point in my great grandparents lives and their siblings lives is when this article would’ve been released originally.  Most of them at the time would have probably been in Britain or on the east coast in planes U-boat hunting.
