Mrs. Phillips, the widow of Sgt. Phillips has indicated quotes from the book “A Man Called Intrepid: The Secret War” by: William Stevenson will help the reader to understand the significance of the Dieppe raid.

“They were introduced to the FBI man who would go with them to examine the enemy radar at Dieppe. The FBI man’s job would be to shoot either or both of them dead if there was any danger of their being captured. Sergeant Rose would go along to demolish the enemy radar after the two British Scientists had removed key pieces from the unit.” – Page 377

“ “Dieppe was one of the most vital operations of the whole second world war. It was The Great Deception.” ” [- Lord Louis Mountbatten] – Page 377

“ “Nobody was told the real reason for it but the code name JUBILEE came out of a discussion with Stephenson, Chaim Weizmann, and other Jewish leaders…If ever Hitler were destroyed and Europe liberated, it would be like that biblical period when slaves are freed and the land restored to its rightful owners – the period that Jews traditionally call Jubilee.” ” [ - Sgt. Rose] – Page 377

“A Canadian Field Security sergeant had been secretly ordered to back up Callaghan [the FBI man]. He would act ostensibly as the scientists’ body guard. In reality, he was to kill either or both if Callaghan failed to prevent them falling into enemy hands alive.” – Page 385-86

“With Sergeant Nissenthall were nine sharpshooters of the South Saskatchewan Regiment. Nissenthall’s task was to search for signs of a German equivalent to the British cavity magnetron, the “magic black box” that made radar more flexible. The Canadians’ job was to kill Nissenthall if he, too, seemed in danger of being captured alive.” – Page 389

“The Dieppe Raid provided practical information.” [Relative to Operation Torch] – Page 399

“There were the same difficulties encountered at Dieppe: shortages of shipping, lack of escorts, and inadequate craft. And what if intelligence proved as faulty?” [Relative to Operation Torch] – Page 400

“Nor could it be doubted that intelligence operations at Dieppe had made this possible…” [Relative to Operation Torch] – Page 406

“Only Churchill, Roosevelt, and the handful of intelligence chiefs directing these secret operations were aware of the critical deception made possible from intelligence gained through JUBILEE at Dieppe.” – Page 462
