Since the alternative proposed wasn't the Balkans or Italy for Dragoon forces, but landing in the Lowland to take out the German 15th Army and cut off retreating survivors of the Normandy campaign plus any rolling stock they were stealing as well as open up Antwerp months earlier without inflicting the OTL levels of damage on infrastructure in the area,

Given the lead time needed for amphibious operations, this really needs to be considered in the light of expectations of progress of the Normandy campaign.

Planning assumption for D+90 was reaching the Seine-Loire line with Brittany ports open for supply. In that context, where is the best place for an additional landing between D+60 to D+90:
- Pas de Calais
- Dieppe ie between Seine and Somme to loosen up the Seine crossing and open up Le Havre
- Atlantic coast to open Bordeaux
- Mediterranean coast
- Northern Italy
- Nowhere, and keep the forces in Italy

For me, the best option is Dieppe based on the principle of reinforcing the main operation, and there is flexibility on where to land on the Channel coast. The main counterargument is that if you have the divisions available in the UK it would be better to feed them into the Normandy bridgehead.

Seems reasonable given planning assumptions. Though that would of course be able to change as the facts on the ground change.
