I don't think the Germans cared what flag was being flown, so can't see that it would have been more or less bloody..!
My opinion has been changed (you may say "corrupted") by talking to my Canadian father-in-law (a WWII veteran). His opinion is more along the lines of "Do not get a lot of soldiers killed by doing stupid stuff like attacking a well defended beach." He does not believe that much was learned at Dieppe that was not common sense.I think the main lessons of Dieppe were dont try to land at a well defended port, practise practise and practice again and dont try and land on a shingle beach.
RAF Bomber Command was tasked with destroying Maisey Battery. They missed.
German heavy artillery located at Maisey Battery will kill British infantry just as easily as American infantry on an exposed beach. So Omaha will be just as bloody.
