dailymail.co.uk — It was the most daring air raid the world had ever seen. The RAF's elite 617 Squadron, nicknamed the Dambusters, flew 19 Lancaster bombers into Nazi Germany and destroyed two Ruhr valley dams with their revolutionary "bouncing bombs".

In WWII, the 617 was elite. Not sure about now though! Are they still flying the Tornado in 617?

Unfortunately I saw the film a couple of years ago UK network TV and references to the dog had been removed. A time before that, the dog was renamed 'Nipper'. When it's shown in the US I believe the dog was renamed to 'Trigger', but that's according to a Guardian Newspaper article.Given the codeword of one of the bombing runs was named after the dog it's messing with history, but nothing that Hollywood hasn't done before.

It's really impressive to see what our relatives went through during the war. I've got no idea how they made these old tin buckets fly.
