WWII Dambusters' Great Escape

97% 46MIN

The Tirpitz was a formidable, 53,000 tonne battleship that was arguably the most potent symbol of Hitler’s naval power. Churchill made its destruction a top priority. This is the story of perhaps the most important and daring air raid carried out by the legendary RAF squadron known as The Dambusters.
