    Dieppe Raid - info request


    Recommended Posts

    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 at Dieppe and in other signifiicant Canadian campaigns. I would also be interested in personal accounts experiences during the war.

    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.

    Peter,

    If you would like scans from the old illustrated Cologne newspaper I have, just give me a shout.

    Thanks. Generous offer. I'd love the scans! And I think they're public domain, so I should be ok to use them. If you'll send them on, I'll check. Muchos gracias!

    Hi Peter.

    Is this of interest?

    It's a four-page German propaganda leaflet air-dropped over England following the Dieppe raid. It is almost entirely made up of photographs of the aftermath of the raid.

    Let me know if this is useful.

    Peter, as you may know a number of Oakville men ended up with the Rileys and some were lost at Dieppe. I have some copies of Oakville Record Star articles dealing with the raid and circumstances of death of at least one (you already know the effect it had on Brantford).
