May 16, 1943. 19 Lancaster bombers take off from England. Each carries a strange cylindrical explosives. Spinning. Unlike anything ever used before.
Their target: The Ruhr dams. Germany's industrial heartland. The Möhne. The Eder. The Sorpe. Destroy them and Nazi war production collapses.
But these dams are massive. Hundreds of feet of concrete and stone. Conventional bombs bounce off. So British engineer Barnes Wallis invented something revolutionary. A bouncing explosives. Released at exactly 60 feet altitude. Exactly 232 mph. The explosives skips across the water like a stone. Hits the dam. Sinks. Detonates at depth. Breaking it from within.
This is Operation Chastise. The Dambusters Raid. One of the most famous explosives missions in history.
133 men flew. 53 died. Two dams were destroyed. Germany's war industry took a catastrophic hit.
This is their complete story.
