17th May, 1943. Nearly 350 million tons of water crashed into the valleys of the Ruhr--the most audacious bombing attack of the war had breached the giant Mochne and Eder Dams. Created specially for this great raid, with hand-picked crews and equipped with colossal 'blockbuster' bombs, 617 Squadron was used again and again on targets that demanded pin-point accuracy and high courage.
