YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Long before the famous Dambusters Raid, a plucky band of RAF aircrew flying obsolete aircraft made one of the most important raids of the war to attempt to knock out heavily-defended aqueducts on the Dortmund-Ems Canal. The Germans were bringing up thousands of barges along the canal ready to invade England. If the aqueducts were smashed, Germany's invasion timetable would be ruined.

Find out the story of the 'First Dambusters' of August 1940, a suicide mission to save Britain.
