Default true reason for Dieppe

Hello

For those who have not read the revealing book about Dieppe " One Day in August" by David O'Keefe. I put it on the must read list. The truth about Dieppe is now known as it was a cover up raid to collect a copy and data on the German Enigma machine. The Allies at the time were desperate to crack the code at any cost. Dieppe was the closest German Naval port.

It became larger than intended to cover up the true reason from the Germans... and those in the know where sworn to secrecy for life.

I just discovered I had a relative with the British Commandos who was Naval intelligence. He most likely would have been one of those in the know.

Eric
