That turns out not to be the case.  Courtesy of dictionary.com:
"de·ba·cle (d-bäkl, -bkl, db-kl)  n.
A sudden, disastrous collapse, downfall, or defeat; a rout.
A total, often ludicrous failure.
The breaking up of ice in a river.
A violent flood."

Now, I suppose you could say that the defenders felt the Allied
assault was "a violent flood"...
