Dambusters - Atacking The Sorpe

Dambusters - Atacking The Sorpe

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Dams Raid, in which Guy Gibson and 617 Squadron destroyed crucial German infrastructure using the innovative bouncing bomb - Al Murray and James Holland are presenting DAMBUSTERS WEEK. As Guy Gibson succeeds at the Möne Dam, all is not well with B Squadron. Joe McCarthy and Les Munro are faced with a nigh-on impossible task at the Sorpe, and struggle to breech the enormous structure. Why was this considered a secondary target, and why didn't it work?
