Battle Of Dieppe: Operation Jubilee
The Battle of Dieppe, also known as Operation Jubilee, was a battle between the Allied forces and the Nazi German Party. The battle occurred on August 19, 1942, around 5:00 am, in the northern coast of Dieppe, France. The Allied forces attempted to invade Dieppe because they were being pressured by Joseph Stalin and his union (Soviet Union) to open a second front in Western Europe. This engagement between The Allies and the Nazi Germans in Dieppe only lasted for nine hours due to the Allies withdrawing from the combat.

The battle of Normandy, also known as Operation overload and D-Day, was a battle between the Allied forces and the Axis powers. This battle is known for being one of the largest assaults the Allies won in military history. The combat between The Allied forces and Axis powers began on June 6, 1944 and ended on August 21, 1944. It occurred in the shores of Normandy, France along five beaches which is a total of an 80 - kilometer stretch. Each of the five beaches had code names which were Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. On the first day of the engagement, June 6th, there were about 156,000 Allied troops that were on the beaches fighting against the Nazi Germans and advancing. Juno Beach was the beach the Canadians were invading into. On the morning of June 6th, there were 14 000 Canadian soldiers that arrived to get past German defence. By the end of the day, the Canadians advanced nine kilometers. The Canadians and other Counties on the beaches were fighting so well against the German Nazis because of their new approach on attacking. Although D-Day had similar concepts to the battle of Dieppe, D-Day was much more successful because the Allied forces changed their strategy which led them to victory. For example, opposite to Dieppe, the soldiers that were fighting on the beaches had massive naval and air support. The allies had about 6,939 ships: 1,213 warships, 4,126 transport ships, and 864 merchant ships, which gave them the ability to bring in more than a million troops, along with many military vehicles, and war supplies. In terms of Aerial power, the Alliance had about 11,590 planes that dropped more than 5000 bombs in total into the battle. The battle of Normandy was also successful because the Allies started planning two years ago about the battle before it occurred where they
