The\u00a0M\u00f6hne Reservoir<\/strong>, or\u00a0Moehne Reservoir<\/strong>, is an artificial lake in North Rhine-Westphalia, some 45 km east of Dortmund, Germany. It became a top tourist attraction many years after the event, and in 1955 a top grossing British movie about it called \u201cThe Dambusters\u201d was made. Not to be \u201coutdone,\u201d the British RAF occasionally re-create the Moehne Dam raid, by having a classic WW2 Lancaster fly \u2013 very low \u2013 over the Derwent Dam in Northern England. When I visited the Moehne I thought it was fascinating that most of the people there were young. Indeed, I heard one English speaking person say, \u201cI wonder what actually happened here?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it became a top tourist attraction.<\/p>\n

In World War Two (WW2) the British Royal Air Force (RAF)\u00a0 knew that if the Moehne, and two other Dams \u2013 the Eder and Sorpe \u2013 were destroyed, the subsequent release of millions of tons of water would cause substantial damage to the land, buildings and infrastructure below it, as well as hurting the German WW2 economy overall. The British called what they had in mind, Operation Chastise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"howThe problem was how to destroy the Moehne, Eder and Sorpe Dams. Back then in 1943, it proved far too difficult to actually hit the Dams and demolish them. A brilliant British scientist called Dr. Barnes Wallis was watching some kids flipping and skipping flat coins across a pond and, seeing how many times it would \u201cbounce\u201d before it sank, and it gave him an idea on how the Dam could be breached: design a bomb that could \u201cbounce\u201d across the lake and reservoir and \u201cdrop\u201d this bouncing bomb right by the Dam wall where, it was hoped, it\u2019d sink to the bottom and explode, subsequently creating water pressure so intense it\u2019d insure an even bigger eruption \u2013 and collapse the Dam wall.<\/p>\n

The RAF formed a special squadron of Lancaster bombers (#617 squadron that still exists today)<\/em> to carry out this highly unorthodox and dangerous mission. Adding to the danger, the RAF\u2019s Lancaster crews\u2019 who\u2019d fly the mission, were stunned to learn they\u2019d have to fly about 50 feet above the Lake, and drop their bouncing bomb at the precise place for it to work.<\/p>\n

Because precision on THIS mission was absolutely critical, it\u2019d help (enormously) if they could practice. But how and where? Located in the northeast of the British County of Derbyshire (the nearest city is Sheffield)<\/em> is the Derwent Dam and, it\u2019s almost identical to the Moehne Dam in Germany. It gave the RAF crews a superb opportunity to practice the \u201calmost real thing.\u201d If, on your visit to Britain, you plan on seeing the Derwent as well as the Mohne, the countryside surrounding the Derwent Dam is the epitome of \u201cGreen,\u201d with healthy hills, vast valleys, riveting rock faces, colorful cycle paths, magnificent moors, and a favorite place for runners, climbers and hikers, all made even more beautiful by the Peak District National Park.<\/p>\n

On the 16th and 17th of May, 1943, the Lancaster bombers of 617 squadron, with each of the 19 aircraft carrying a purpose-built “bouncing bomb<\/a>” developed by\u00a0Barnes Wallis<\/a>, attacked the M\u00f6hne<\/a> and Eder Dams<\/a>. Both were breached, the Mohne more seriously than the other two, and it caused catastrophic flooding of the\u00a0Ruhr<\/a>\u00a0valley and of villages in the\u00a0Eder valley<\/a>; the\u00a0Sorpe Dam<\/a>\u00a0sustained only minor damage. Overall two hydroelectric power stations were destroyed and several more damaged. Factories and mines were also smashed or destroyed. An estimated 1,600 civilians \u2013 about 600 Germans and 1,000 mainly Soviet forced laborers \u2013 died. Despite rapid repairs by the Germans, production did not return to normal until September of 1943 \u2013 nearly 5 months AFTER the raid.<\/p>\n

On my visit it was surreal to walk on the actual top part of the Dam and imagine being there when it happened, and seeing those RAF Lancaster bombers roaring in seemingly inches from the top of the Lake. Be sure YOU go visit this unique German Dam and envisage the event\u00a0 yourself \u2013 and yes, see if you feel the same.<\/p>\n
