Here's an interesting tidbit from the Dieppe raid. I had a neighbour who commanded a normal Churchill in the raid. In their briefing they were told that none of the houses in Dieppe had basements. He came ashore and made it through all the barriers and up into the town. There was a house in the way so he went through it. You guessed it! It had a basement and he was stuck, so the crew made their way back to the beach on foot and most were evacuated.
