This powerful documentary uses original archive footage to tell the true story of the legendary Dambuster raid carried out by 617 Squadron during WWII.
Flying specially modified Lancaster bombers, the squadron deployed the now-famous bouncing bombs to target and destroy the Mohne and Eder dams in Germany’s Ruhr Valley. Of the nineteen aircraft that took part in this daring mission, eight were lost and two seriously damaged—a high price for a bold strike that dealt a heavy blow to Nazi infrastructure.
