This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Dambuster Raid of 16 May 1943 during the Second World War. The contour map of the Westphalia Region of Germany showcases the positions of the Sorpe, Mohne, and Eder Dams, which were targeted by RAF Lancaster bombers from 617 Squadron.
The precision and bravery displayed by these bomber crews as they attacked these vital dams is truly remarkable. This raid was a daring and audacious mission that required meticulous planning and execution, resulting in significant damage to enemy infrastructure.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and justice during one of the darkest periods in human history.
