Operation Jubilee, August 1942, was essentially a rehearsal for the D-Day landings. There were 16 immediate objectives of the operation, one of which was to discover the importance of a German radar station. Among those landed was Flight-Sergeant J M Nissenthall, a radar expert, equipped with a Canadian Army uniform and escorted by a personal bodyguard whose orders were to kill him rather than allow the Germans to capture him. This is the story of what happened to him and his bodyguard during the fighting on the beaches near to Dieppe.
