...British and Canadian forces attacked the port of Dieppe in France. Included in the raid were small contingents from several other countries, including fifty US Army Rangers.
Although a disaster, it provided valuable information that would be used in the planning of the D-Day invasion of 1944.

IIRC, the raid did suceed in disabling the drydock in the port, the only one on the Atlantic coast to accomodate the Tirpitz. This kept the Tirpitz in Norwegian waters for the rest of the war.
That would be the only drydock large enough to accomodate the Tirpitz.
For easy to use links, try using the "a href" HTML tags...

And this link for the the Dieppe Raid
If you're not familiar with the "a href" tag, look at this link and look at the "link something" tag.
Not trying to bust your chops, just trying to be handy...
