I suspect that the Churchills, being somewhat slow and undergunned, did not fit into the German order of battle. There is a reference to the Germans suspecting that the UK had sent obsolete tanks into the raid expecting them to be lost.
Even if they were buried as gun emplacements, the main gun would not have been supported for spares or munitions. I look forward to hearing different as to whether any of the dieppe tanks survived in any form.
