The "DamBusters" , No. 617 Squadron RAF , during WW2 were responsible for trying to destroy the Mohne , Eder and Sorpe Canals in Germany using a "Bouncing bomb" (Think of skipping a rock across water .) developed by Barnes Wallis the British inventor . "Operation Chastise" as it was known caused extensive damage to the Möhne and Edersee Dams and flooded the Ruhr Valley which had strategic importance to the German war effort . These are excellent details but IF you are able - try and see the movie Dambusters - it was one of the best I have seen (about 5 times now and I would watch it again in a heart beat) It was the ingenuity of Wallis and his conviction that they could make bombs that would skip across the water and hit the dam at the right moment. He was also aided by the airmen who "developed" the method of determining the exact height of the plane via two lights shining on the surface. I believe that the knocking out of these dams had more than a strategic importance to the war they changed the direction as the Germans lost so much manufacturing

Number 617 Squadron RAF became commonly known as the Dambusters. This is due to their actions during Operation Chastise against German dams during World War II.
large barrel type bombs that were skipped into dams where they exploded and destroyed the dam.
The famous dambuster Lachlan MacDonald could stand only a meter away from the dam. Other lesser dambusters had to be atleast one hundred meters away from the dam or there would be risk of severe injuries to there dermous cells.
