Descriptionof Lost Voices of the Dambusters Raid
Manufacturer

The oral history of the British air raid on the Ruhr dams, with contributions from mission commander Guy Gibson and the inventor of the bouncing bomb, Barnes Wallis. The Dambusters' attack was one of the most famous missions of the Second World War. The targets were three dams along the Ruhr River that powered the German Empire's industrial war effort. To overcome the torpedo nets and other defences, Barnes Wallis invented the bouncing bomb to destroy the dam walls. The 617 Squadron was tasked with dropping these bombs. On the night of 16 May 1943, nineteen specially modified Lancaster bombers left Great Britain. The weeks of training under absolute secrecy were put to the test. Historian Max Arthur has compiled the voices of the Lancaster crews and the German civilians who survived the attack, creating a unique picture of the mission and the devastation it wrought.
