Many say this was a reason for Dieppe...Canadian troops afterwards capture got wind or heard the Germans knew 10 days in advance, many criticized planners knowing full well churchill tanks would not have the ability to move on the rocky beachhead...and was sent more as an appeasement for Stalins demands of a second front, and to have a legitimate response as to the failure rather then a non-effort being taken or tried.
