Sad thing about Canada, being one of Britain's staunchest allies, was the disaster at Dieppe. 6,000 mostly Canadian troops were sent virtually unsupported to land in Dieppe,France. Over half were killed or captured. The rationale was that the operation provided valuable amphibious landing experience. I chalk it up to British war atrocities.
