Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Dambuster Raid by Helmuth Euler Originally published in 2013 by Motorbuch Verlag, this image-heavy publication tells the story of the famed Dambuster Raid (Operation Chastise) from a German perspective. Many images have been consolidated in an effort to provide comprehensive visual representation of the raid and the damage it wrought. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Operation Chastise, the audacious RAF bombing raid that struck at the heart of industrial Germany on the 17th May 1943, brought catastrophic damage to the three dams that served the Ruhr Valley. Water and electricity supplies were disrupted in a key area of the manufacture of Germanys war munitions, and the consequences were disastrous. The German war effort was set back substantially, the Allies celebrated, and Dr. Barnes Wallis became a national hero as the designer of the famed bouncing bomb that inflicted such damage. Considered from an Allied perspective, the Dambuster Raid was a triumphant success, not only of British engineering but also of pilot endeavour. View it from the German perspective however, and an entirely new story emerges. That is precisely what we have here. In this image-heavy publication, Helmuth Euler explores all facets of the operation in fascinating detail, offering a host of illuminating insights into this much-studied event of twentieth century history.
