This is one of the better explanations, but it still contains some errors. 1. The angled sight was provided, but most of the bomb aimers gave up on it and scratched marks onto the plexiglass instead. 2. It was the bomb aimer who "dropped" the bomb, not the pilot. 3. The bombs sank a good deal deeper than the animation shows. They were depth charges triggered by depth, and the raid was timed for when the reservoirs were at maximum capacity, so that the depth and water pressure against the dam surface were maximised.

You had to get it EXACTLY right... in the film, Barnes Wallace explains that any water between bomb and dam will cushion the detonation. IF the bomb is against the wall, however, the water works the other way and magnifies the destructive effect. Hence the need for the bomb to skip over the torpedo net, hit the dam, sink AGAINST THE WALL, and detonate at 30ft below surface..... Oh gosh; I've watched the film too often, haven't I?

Speaking of the Dambusters, there is a really good book going into detail about the Dambusters called The Lancaster and the Tirpitz, authored by Tony Iveson, a Squadron leader in the Dambusters Really recommend it, A great book Edit: Tony was the Squadron leader of the 617 squadron , Guy Gibson was a Wing Commander, sadly he died flying a mosquito later in war. Tony did survive and became a last witness(a person that had experienced fighting in a Lancaster before) and paired up with Brain Milton, a writer on the 70th anniversary to write this amazing book. It also has a special section where they talked about sinking the German army’s biggest battleships at that time, the sister ship of Bismark the Tirpitz

Great animation. But there's a couple of factual errors. There was no anti-aircraft batteries at the Eder. Its difficult geography left the Germans to conclude that was protection enough, and they didn't install any flak. And the Sorpe was an earth bank dam, and had to be attacked parallel to the dam wall (not perpendicular) so there was no bounce at that dam, but otherwise, top class work guys. I await the Sabaton song and subsequent video! 😉🤘

While our fellas didn't have any fancy "skipping bombs" to my knowledge, the US Navy actually did similar dam destroying tactics against North Korea during the Korean War a few years later. Some Navy planners apparently came up with the crazy yet brilliant idea of dropping torpedoes in the dams, which wiped out whole energy and industrial production areas (though cropland was for better or worse sometimes obliterated too). Hats off to all fellas (British, Australian, American and I'm sure others) who took part in crazy raids like these in both conflicts.

Sad truth: many of the crew who survived this mission went on to die a couple months later, and even more before the end of the war. Maltby and his crew, the ones who breached the mohne, died 4 months later after a mysterious collision over the North Sea. His body was the only one found afterwards. Likewise, Gibson died before the end of the war also in mysterious circumstances. Most of them were in their mid to early twenties... scary to think.
