One of the most important goals of the RAF was the destruction of the dams in the Ruhr area, which supplied important industrial plants with electricity. In order to effectively hit resistant targets such as dams or dams, a rotary dam-busting bomb, better known as a bouncing bomb, was developed. A new unit was created specifically for this attack, 617 Squadron, commanded by Lt. Col. Guy Gibson.
