They needed a proper working port on the Channel that would enable them to bring in more men and materiel to fight the Germans in Europe and alleviate their supply issues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAntwerp was the prize they were after but the Germans had it covered so other ports needed to be captured as a matter of urgency. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the story of the capture of Dieppe, Le Havre, Boulogne and Calais and the Siege of Dunkirk that the Allies decided to do while they concentrated on capturing and bringing only the port of Antwerp.
