A Canadian mini-series airing on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation network in 1993. Focus of the series shifts back and forth between those planning the raid on Dieppe on August 19, 1942, and one of the platoons of Canadian infantrymen that was charged with carrying out the landings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The four hour, two-part series is largely based on the book "Unauthorized Action" by Brian Loring-Villa. His contention was that the Dieppe Raid was never actually authorized, and that Mountbatten proceeded to mount the raid in the face of objections by his superiors, amidst a complicated political climate that gave rise to the conditions where he could do so. More recent scholarship has come to light in the years since, notably One Day in August by David O'Keefe, who contends the raid was a cover for a special forces mission to capture German code machine parts.The thrust of the show is to demonstrate how the senior commanders came to the decision to launch what turned out to be a disaster, and the effects on the common soldiers at the bottom of the chain of command, who paid the price. | |

America Saves the Day | |
| Dieppe / int_c515d358 | comment |
America Saves the Day: played with and averted. While General Eisenhower threatens to "take our war to the Pacific" if they can't convince the British to invade France in 1942, the British remind them that the bulk of forces in such an invasion would be British and Canadian. The Americans grudgingly relent, and while they send 50 Army Rangers to Dieppe, bide time while the British make the main effort in Europe through its commando raiding program and the aerial bombing of Germany. General Crerar is anxious to get Canadian soldiers into action before the Americans, presumably so this trope will be averted and the British and Canadians will get some of the credit for the victory. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Dieppe / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Leith's attraction to Casey is never overtly explained, though he fits a number of tropes that sync with this idea, such as Anti-Hero, Lovable Rogue, etc. Casey is presented as such in his introductory scene, when he advises a comrade "if we did everything we were told - we'd be Nazis." In the end he's revealed as a Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
