    Well done
    A well done British documentary that was not as exciting as the 1954 movie with Michael Redgrave, but probably a little more accurate. Interviews with the actual pilots that flew the raid make for interesting observations and added knowledge of the attack.Mixed conclusions of the effect of the raid fail to really answer the question whether it was worth the lives it cost. All in all well worth your time if you are interested in seeing an actual critique on the raid and the effects on the German war machine from the results. World War II buffs and historians should thoroughly enjoy this movie. I rated this a 7.
