Strike fast, strike sure. Just two of this mission left. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/04/last-surviving-dambusters-pilot-les-munro-dies-96 People have criticized the actual value of the raid. Was it over glorified after the war in an attempt to raise morale in a country hit by crippling shortages and economic debt ? In terms of strategic effect it did divert a large part of Franz Dorsch's effort in building the Atlantic Wall which is likely to have saved lives on D-Day. There was the unfortunate death of a large number of Russian women POW's nearby and also German civilians but friendly deaths were a common occurrence during WW2 in bombing raids such as that made prior to D-Day itself in France for instance.
