One of the men there had been to Dieppe in 1942 after that raid, and he told us that the Allies had dropped thousands of leaflets by air during that attack, which said ‘This action is a coup de main, not an invasion. Civilians must not risk themselves,’ or some such thing. Very sporting of the English! But on June 6th, no such leaflets had been seen, which further suggested that this was a permanent incursion into France.
