Heer Dieppe Raid - German perspectives

[peter monahan]

Gentlemen

I am currently writing a history course for the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Education and am working on the World War Two. I am planning an activity on the Dieppe Raid (Operation Jubilee) and am very interested in locating photos taken by or of German positions and troops at Dieppe. I would also be interested in personal accounts by Heer personnel of their experiences during the raid.

Because of the nature of the project, I can only use photos for which I can get crystal clear copyright permission. The simplest way is obviously from the photographers themselves but that seems unlikely. Next best is from current owners of privately made images and last is from institutions, just due to the paperwork and time constraints.

If any of you own photos (or personal accounts) you would be willing to let me use or can point me at useful websites, private or not, please let me know. Thanks for your help in this.

Try a book titles 'The Second Front' in Time Life's WWII series. There is a brief section on Dieppe with some photographs, with one of Sepp Dietrich inspecting a captured British tank.
