Churchill AVRE

After the bitter disappointment of Operation Jubilee (raid on Dieppe) in August 1942, the Allied staffs began to evaluate the causes of the failure of this "test of invasion of Europe," as the operation was later called by historians. One of the reasons for its failure was the inability of troops to overcome or directly destroy offshore facilities and obstacles, and the related inability to develop operations inland. This awareness of the need to include in the set of the first and several other attack waves members of engineering units with the necessary equipment and weapons, able to perform a very wide range of tasks under the immediate fire of the defending enemy, later gave rise to a number of specialized engineering vehicles called AVRE (Armored or Assault Vehicle Royal Engineers).
