History Channel? isn't that about as good with history as Fox News is with current events?
Come now, that's a little unfair.
I'd use RT for the comparison.
Where's a picture of that 'Aliens' guy when you need it?

This was shown on the Canadian History Channel which is a different channel and has different ownership than the US version. They have a cross liscensing agreement but they are different.
I make no claim that this is what happened but the progam put forward a lot of research, indicated sources and was very plausable. O'Keefe is writing a book on the subject which will no doubt allow a more detailed scrutiny of the hypothesis and its backing research.
I don't think a successful Dieppe would lead to a second front or early D-Day. I think that it would probably lead to an earlier cracking of Enigma though probably cementing the Allies position in the Atlantic a lot sooner. Thoughts?
Apparently the special commando assigned to take the enigma machine were to so thoroughly demolish the naval headquarters building that the germans would never know the machine was missing, and so assume it was destroyed in the fighting.
The whole thing seems pretty plausible to me after watching the documentary.
