| On May 17th. 1943 the Royal Air Force carried out one of the most remarkable raids ever undertaken by any aircrew. On that night a squadron of Lancaster heavy bombers flew at low level across a blacked out Europe, towards the four great dams that deIivered water and power to the German industrial heartland of the Ruhr. The aircrews had been trained for months to carry out this most daring and courageous of raids. Against a storm of anti-aircraft fire, they caImIy flew their bombers in across the reservoirs, hoIding a specific height and speed, to deIiver their strange cylindricaI bouncing bombs, to explode against the face of the dams, and bIow great hoIes in them. The factories of the Ruhr were crippled. 1300 German civilians died, and 53 aircrew were lost. For the very first time this programme expIores both sides of a raid that has become an epic in the history of World War 2. (52 minutes - 2009 -Color & BIack & White - 4:3). |
