Likely unpopular opinion alert.

The UK doesn't really have a leg to stand on, in the whole 'don't blow up dams during a war' argument.

We actively celebrate the dambusters campaign - we don't ascribe it as a war crime. We made a film about it!

Just saying.

Digging up the grave of the Dam Busters dog to make room for a migrant camp is the sort of story line The Thick Of It writers would have rejected as too far fetched. Is there no one in government who can look at this stuff and say 'er...guys...'.

Bill Marsh Anton Gerashchenko Well said, needs repeating to all the trolls.
Kakhovka dam: reinforced concrete, a 100m section is gone.
Dozens of Himars 90kg warheads did this to the Antonovsky bridge.
NKVD used 20 tons HE to blow the Dnipro in '41.
Dambusters used 3x 3 T bombs on Mohne, a weaker masonry dam

Elon Musk⁩ can you please explain to us what the Ukrainian Burst dam has to do with the World Bank? Why do I have to pay for the Damage done by the Dambusters?

Is it finally time to change from Steve Bloomer's Watching?

Over the past couple of days, we've had numerous ideas sent in. From '500 miles', to the 'dambusters', to 'stand by me'.

If you were going to pick a song to be Derby's new anthem, what would it be? 🐏

Also. There are some excellent podcasts here about the 'Dambusters Raid' of May 1943.

They caused deadly flooding but the primary intention for the raids was to deny German industry the hydro-electric power and water for steel making.

Thomas C. Theiner It’s very hard to destroy a dam with bombing, which is why the Dambusters had to carry out such a difficult attack to try and get their bombs to detonate right at the base of the dam

TheKremlinYap And anyone who's knows their WWII history will tell you the Dambusters needed multiple bouncing bombs on each dam they destroyed and each bomb weighed 9,000lbs (or 4.08 metric tonnes).

Smart Ukrainian Cat 🌪️ 🔥 During , the British breached the Möhne and Edersee Dams with specially-designed 'bouncing bombs.' Weighing 4.2 tons each, these bombs packed a whopping 3 tons of Torpex, an explosive 1.6x stronger than TNT!
