The inside story of the Dieppe Raid in August 1942, which taught the allies many invaluable lessons for the D-Day invasion in 1944. It is also the exceptional story of Jack Nissenthal, a young jewish radar expert who was tasked with finding intelligence about the state of German radar developments, in particular their Freya radar station at Plourville, near Dieppe. Jack was protected by a cadre of the South Saskatchewan Regiment (SSR) who had orders he couldn't be allowed to be captured alive by the Germans because of his deep knowledge of British radar. Against all odds, Jack survived whilst many of the SSR perished and after the war set up up a successful electronics business, firstly in South Africa and in his later years in Canada, where I was privileged to meet him. This edition is an Amazon paperback reprint and as such has a few typos which don't detract from the powerful story. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
