Raid on Dieppe.

Alexander,
Can I recommend the book, 'One Day In August,' by David O'Keefe.

O'Keefe explores the theory that the whole raid was actually a diversion for the Ultra Secret Raid which was to be carried out by 10 Platoon, (part of 'X' Company, RM Commando).
The plan was for 10 Platoon to land in the docks and look for the four-rotor Enigma...

10 Platoon became the foundation for 30 AU - Ian Fleming's 'Red Indians' - a special intelligence gathering Commando unit...

Thanks Nick. Will look into that.
Are you aware of the debate about who actually signed off on the Raid and was responsible? Apparently no one has ever found the official order papers...
I wonder if there was sufficient control to allow for it to have been a front for another operation?
Best,
Alexander
