S5 E10 - David O'Keefe on the Dieppe Raid

History Rage

This week we are joined by Historian and Author of “One Day in August: Ian Fleming, Enigma, and the Deadly Raid on Dieppe”, David O’Keefe who joins us to rage that DIEPPE WAS NOT A TRAINING RUN FOR D-DAY

We’ll be debunking the myth of Dieppe opening a second front, appeasing the Russians and being a training exercise in amphibious operations and look into why Operation Jubilee was even on the cards.

If you’d like to know more about this subject, then you can start by buying the excellent book “One Day In August” from the History Rage Bookshop. You can, and should, also David on Twitter @okeefehistorian
