The bouncing bomb blew up the dam in Berlin so that Berlin was under water. This took 4 attempts.
The first warshot "bouncing bombs" were used in combat by the Royal Air Force's 617 Squadron in an attack on the Möhne and Eder dams in the Ruhr region of Germany. They were designed to bounce over the anti-torpedo netting protecting these dams, allowing for the bomb to be released similarly to a torpedo, minimising detection and ensuring a high degree of accuracy.

The bouncing bomb developed during World War II had to spin at about 500 revolutions per minute (rpm) for optimal performance. This spinning motion helped the bomb to skip across the water and hit its target accurately.
