βOperation Chastiseβ by Robert Taylor, showing a hit by βDinghyβ Youngβs Lancaster on the MΓΆhne Dam at 00:40 on 17th May 1943. π· aces-high.com (Artwork showing a 4-engined bomber climbing away from a dam, a plume of water rising behind amid flak bursts)
Night of 16th-17th May 1943. Lancasters of 617 Squadron attacked the MΓΆhne, Eder and Sorpe dams using the innovative βbouncingβ Upkeep mine. That story has been covered many times, but much less well known is the later development of a similar German bomb, codenamed βKurtβ.
