The Dambusters, officially known as Operation Chastise, was a British military operation during World War II that took place on the night of May 16-17, 1943. The mission aimed to destroy key dams in the Ruhr Valley, Germany's industrial heartland, using innovative bouncing bombs designed by engineer Barnes Wallis. The successful breaching of the Möhne and Eder Dams caused significant flooding, disrupted German war production, and boosted Allied morale. This daring raid highlighted the effectiveness of innovative aerial tactics and showcased the bravery of the Royal Air Force's 617 Squadron.
