Immediately following their devastating attack on the Möhne
Dam, the specially modified Lancasters of 617 Squadron successfully
breach the second of Germany’s mighty western dams –
the Eder, on the night of the 16/17th May, 1943. After hitting
the target with pinpoint precision, pilot Les Knight and Flight
Engineer Ray Grayston battle with the controls of Lancaster AJ-N
in order to clear the high ground beyond the dam as a torrent
of water erupts into the valley below them, the wall of the Eder
Dam is rent apart and collapses.
