EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken after the daring Dambuster Raid on May 16, 1943, this image shows the aftermath of the RAF Lancaster bombers breaching the Eder Dam and reservoir. The precision and skill of 617 Squadron is evident as they successfully executed their mission to disrupt enemy infrastructure.
The destruction caused by the bombing is clearly visible in this print, with water gushing out from where the dam once stood tall. The sheer power and impact of war are palpable in every detail captured by this aerial shot.
