RAF raid on the Rhur Dams
« on: May 16, 2008, 11:35:47 AM »
It was 65 years ago today (16 May 08) that the RAF, some say, undertook the greatest bombing raid of WW2. The low level attack on the dams in the Rhur Valley.
Operation Chastise was the name given to the raid, undertaken by the Lancaster's of 617 Squadron RAF, later to be known as the 'DAMBUSTERS'
