Raid of Four Years Ago Linked With" Plan to Invade France and Take Nazi Pressure Of f Red Army By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Press Staff Writer " PARIS (CP) The costly raid on Dieppe by the Second Canadian Division four years ago now appears to have been strategically linked with a desperate plan to invade France in 1942 to take some German pressure off the hard-pressed Red Army at Stalingrad. This- interpretation is based on the disclosure by Gen George Marshall, former United States chief-of-staff. in his report, "Winning the War of Europe and the Pacific," that the plan to invade with six divisions was considered two years before D-Day actually came. Several senior Allied officers who knew some of the inside story of Dieppe and with whom I talked in London said the same thing. Official details of the connection between the raid and the 1942 plan remain locked up with Britain's wartime prime minister, Winston Churchill, and the war cabinet and may never be fully divulged. The basic strategic reason for 1-3 About this time the Second Canadian Division began intensive combined operation training. It was ticketed for the Dieppe raid but its task could be easily fitted into the "Sledgehammer" plan and In fact seems to have been part of it. In june, 1942, Mr. Churchill and Lord Alanbrooke, then chief of the Imperial general staff, went to Washington for further confeiences on "Sledgehammer" and "Roundup" and possible operations in the Mediterranean. It would seem that the final derision was reached there to carry out the Dieppe laid in early July. At the Washington conference a trial run such as Dieppe to test new com Dined operation uiepne was never exmamea equipment ana metnoas was satisfactorily, but this much ap-' thought necessary before risking pears certain: j all six divisions.

The code-name for the operation was "Roundup" and the target date as the summer of 1943. "Sledgehammer" Assault Plan As a result the Second Division rushed through' its and was ready to .attack on July 4, but bad weather blew ug. Day after day The operation was-postponed and finally was cancelled on July 7. Gen. Marshall later revisited London to determine, as the gen- An emergency plan, code-1 eral said in his report, "if there named "Sledgehammer" and in-! were not something that could volving a diversionary assault be done immediately to lessen on the French coast with at least the pressure on the Soviet whose six divisions, was also consider- armies were facing a crisis." ed. But the British and United '1 1939 to 1945 ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNNER ON A CANADIAN CORVETTE Keen eyesight, quick reaction, good nerves, initiative and fast accurate hand and eye co-ordination were first essentials for a sailor who manned the anfi-aircraft guns on a Canadian fighting ship. He needed finger dexterity, for one of his jobs was to assemble .end lake apart the weapons, involving the handling of fairly small parts. And, in addition, he had the qualities demonstrated by all service men and women- whether tradesmen or not the ability to accept responsibility, to show, initiative, and o work successfully with others. ' . 7--- States chiefs found it Impossible to put on "Sledgehammer." The North African landings were ordered instead, but the Dieppe operation was kept on the books and in response to f urther pleas from Moscow for action In the west, it was. finally decided to attack Dieppe in August. About Aug. 17 the troops were moved toward Portsmouth and Southampton. On Aug. 19 the Canadians hit the beaches. That, as far as I can determine without reading secret documents and inaccessible war cabinet papers, is the story behind Dieppe. Other Questions Being Asked Several other pertinent question are still being asked. One is: Who did the planning? I can say, after careful Investigation, i responsibility for the broad plan was that of combined operations headquarters and the British war office. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton', then First Canadian Army commander, and Gen. II. D. G. Crer-ar, then commander of the Second Corps, which Included the Second Division, had nothing whatever to dq with that part of the plan. The only influence any Canadian senior officers had was in working out details of the assault within the rigid framework of the broad plan. ' The original plan was not greatly altered. For the raid : which did not come off British I paratroops were to be employed ion the flanks. On the real at-j tack commandos were used in-j stead. There also was a plan, in the original intention, to at-. I tack Dieppe heavily with bomb-jers, but this was rejected be cause the British war cabinet feared French reaction. Rumors that the First Division was offered the assignment but turned it down because MaJ. Gen. George Pearkes, divisional commander, regarded it as unsound, are untrue. The Second Division was chosen in the first instance and the First never entered into it at all. Advertise in Tne Dailv News. TROOPS DON'T LIKE JAPAN New Zealanders Show No Love For Temporary Home CHRISTCIIURCH, N.Z., 05 New Zealand troops who have been on occupation duties in Japan do not like the country, the people nor conditions there. When a draft of 2,000 of them, who have been relieved by a new volunteer force, arrived here they were' full of complaints, some bitter, some good-humored and some merely resigned. They complained of lack of clothing and equipment, lack of amenities, lack of provision for sport and recreation, and thf .'act that even when they did get leave there was little of interest to sec and do in the war-ravaged part of the country where they were stationed. They did not like the "spit and polish" regimental discipline that prevailed. "The only real amenity we had was beer, and it was not even very good beer," one man A sharp rejoinder to what he termed "irresponsible complaints was'made by Brig. K. L. Stewart, who recently returned to the Dominion after relinquishing the pest of commander of the force. Brigadier Stewart said he did not claim that the conditions of the troops' in Japan were perfect, but it was well to keep in mind that tney were not on a holiday. "I can only say that anyone who complains of too much spit and polish in an occupation iorce is a bad soldier," he added. Admittedly there were shortages in clothing Issues, but that was due to cargo dela and the military authorities had no control over it. Pictures were provided six nights a week, Brig. Stewart said. There was cricket, tennis, athletic sports, softball and swimmir? atid three rest campi alt beaches. Conditions would improve every week and the re- SmNv PM Sr.. mm A BUSINESS MACHINE REPAIRMAN... With training, the anti-aircraft gunner of war days would be capable of handling many intricate assembling positions. The fact that business machine repair is one field of activity for w hich he can be fitted with additional training i; an indication of how his service skills can be utilized. An anti-aircraft gunner is only one of thousands of worthwhile peacetime workers coming out of the navy, army and airforce. If indicated, there is provision for training on the job, with the government adding to the income they receive while apprentices. You may get complete details about the training-on-tbe-job program through your nearest office of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Employment Service, or Canadian Vocational Training. 4 Men and women for the services were carefully selected on enlistment. Service experience, training, discipline and the lessons of organization add greatly to their value. Whether tradesman or not, the veteran makes the ideal employee. Canada offers none better. &Uce SdMJtJe, GOOD PUBLISHED IN THE INTERESTS OF VETERANS" BV m mm - mm ra mm a a mm mmm mm - - - - - - - "LISTEN TO THE VETERANS SHOW AT 630 PJL EVERY WEDNESDAY OVER CBC" CFPR Radio Dial 1240 Kilocycles (Subject to change) MONDAY P.M. 4:00 Rhythm on the Range 4:30 Our Singing Land 4:45 Mutual Melody Hour MBS 5:00 Kiss and Make Up CBS 5:30 Jack Klrkwood CBS 6:0O-CBO News 6:15 Swing Low 6:30 Music We Name 7:00 English 7:30 Hotel Pennsylvania Orch.
