Tonight at 8.00pm, on the History Channel, a documentary on the WW II raid on Dieppe will be aired. As Canadians we should all watch it.
But the premise disturbs me.
The misbegotten raid was a product of a personal rivalry between Ian Fleming and Canadian born William Stephenson (Intrepid). Fleming wanted to one up Stephenson as top spymaster and the Dieppe raid was his brainchild. If these allegations are true, it means that the creator of 007 has the blood of brave Canadians on his hands.
