Foreign military specialists on Friday said the Dieppe raid showed a second front could be opened in France. Success hinges on land based air superiority, transport, and surprise. Neutral descriptions of German canal fortifications warn heavy costs for a full invasion, with potential reach to the Meuse and Rhine if outweighed in men and matériel. A La Sentinelle correspondent noted German coastal defenses along France, Belgium and Holland are shallow, five to six kilometers deep in the exposed areas.
