Plot summary
Canada's 2nd Infantry Division has sat in England for two years while its soldiers wait for action. In 1942, General Eisenhower threatens to withdraw American troops from Europe if no ground action takes place in France, so the British give Lord Mountbatten command of Combined Operations Headquarters and tell him to keep pressure on the Germans through large-scale commando raids. His headquarters proposes a landing at Dieppe. General Andrew McNaughton refuses to commit his divisions piecemeal, and while he is in Canada, Major-General Harry Crerar gives permission to use the Canadians.
