The Dams Raid Through The Lens
About this book
The story of the attack on the Möhne and Eder dams in the Ruhr has been recounted many times before, but not until now has it been told from the German side. Helmuth Euler has spent over a third of a century studying the raid and its consequences, collecting an unrivaled archive of documents and photographs, and producing documentary films on the attack. His book Wasserkrieg (literally 'Water-war'), published in Germany in 1992, has now been translated and adapted for this special After the Battle edition.
