History - World War II
A study on the social impacts of the war at home. Students will discuss the economics of war and the importance of industrial strength in winning the war. In terms of Canada’s role in overall Allied strategy, students will examine the history, planning, and eventual failure of the Dieppe Raid, and will debate the film’s assertion that the devastating Canadian losses at Dieppe were a “necessary tragedy” from which lessons learned would eventually lead to Allied successes.
