On 19 August 1942, 6,000 Allied soldiers, including 5,000 Canadians, landed at Dieppe, France. Many would not return. 83 years later, in Ottawa, too, we pay tribute to their courage.

Op. Jubilee. Jack Nissen was just one of many heroes on that terrible day. But what a hero he was... You can read his story in two books published by Chiselbury. 'The Man Under the Radar' is his life story. 'Green Beach' focuses on the raid itself. #DieppeRaid #Dieppe #OperationJubilee
