These were the headlines when Lancasters from 617 Squadron, RAF Bomber Command, demolished two enormous German dams during the night of 16\/17 May 1943, using Barnes Wallis’s revolutionary 'bouncing bombs'. Since then, the operation has been dismissed as a 'publicity stunt’ which had a 'negligible effect on the German war effort'. This is an authoritative account of the raid, conceived out of necessity, prepared for against the tightest of deadlines and carried out in the face of unimaginable danger.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668310982955,"sku":"13150","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/the-dambusters","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
