Hey, it was Montgomery, lol. Am I learning something or what? lol.
Regarding the Dieppe Raid;
"In April 1942 General Bernard Montgomery and Admiral Louis Mountbatten began to plan the invasion. It was originally due to take place in July but bad weather resulted in it being postponed until August."

Montgomery, I seem to recall, also planned Market Garden, another debacle.
