The strong points and possible weaknesses of British invasion forces as exemplified in the recent Dieppe raid are now being examined and debated. The Germans claim to have repelled an invasion while the Allies (who broadcast the extent of the raid while it was going on) declare it was a successful Combined operation. This photograph, made by the Royal Air Force film unit, shows British Commando troops as they boarded their invasion barges on a French beach after a successful raid on the Boulogne-Le Tourquet area on June 4. French fishing boats are drawn up above the waterline on the beach.
