The air battle was just as devastating. In contrast, the Germans only lost about forty aircraft. In the area of Dieppe, among the civilians, the count was 48 dead and 100 wounded. The Germans had 345 dead or missing and 268 wounded. Thus, in less than ten hours' battle, almost 1,800 people lost their lives, which shows clearly the murderous intensity of the Battle of Dieppe.
Military defeats are always controversial subjects, especially when loss of human life is involved.
However, when the Allies invaded France again in 1944, they used what they had learned from Dieppe to defeat the Germans and win the most important victory of the Second World War.
