On Monday, February 7, 2011 at the Brookfield Museum, Peter Cronin of the Brookfield Historical Society will deliver a multi-media presentation on the allied invasion of France in 1942 involving the combined forces of Canada, England, Poland and the United States. Named Operation Rutter and later Operation Jubilee, it occurred on the coast of Normandy at the port of Dieppe nearly two years before D-Day and none of the objectives of the raid were accomplished. Cronin will talk about the events leading up to the raid, the raid itself and the consequences of this ill-fated effort. The Museum is located at 165 Whisconier Road (Intersection of Routes 25 and 133 in Brookfield Center). Following the presentation complimentary refreshments will be served. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend. For more information on this and other events of the Brookfield Historical Society log onto www.brookfieldcthistory.org.
