1 out of 5 stars Inaccurate and disappointing.......2006-03-05

As other reviewers have noted, this is NOT the fine movie "The Dambusters" starring Richard Todd and Sir Michael Redgrave. Unlike "The Dambusters" movie, which told the story very well and very poignantly, this "The Dambuster Raid" DVD is historically inaccurate and unjustifiably bad-mouths one of the most brilliant and most courageous military operations of all time. Why the producers of this thing should have taken such a sour, negative attitude toward the raid and its outcome is incomprehensible.

1 out of 5 stars Inaccurate DVD.......2005-05-10

The squadron identification letters on the side of the Avro Lancaster shown in the picture are wrong. 617 Squadron's letters were AJ (and still are to my knowledge, as 617 The Dambusters are still an operational RAF Squadron flying Tornados). If the producers can't even get that basic fact right then how can we rely on the rest the content? My tip, watch the 1954 movie The Dambusters, it follows the true story very closely!

2 out of 5 stars This is NOT the movie!.......2004-05-02

I was looking for the dambusters movie. This is not it. I have not watched much of it yet. It is critical of the raid and the bit I saw refers to the "terrorism" against Germany. Not in the spirit of the movie or the truth as I understand it.
