Expand description
On August 17, 1943, RAF Bomber Command set out to destroy the secret research establishment where Nazi scientists developed state-of-the-art rockets. And, despite some setbacks and obstacles, they did successfully disrupt Hitler's weapons program. Containing the memories of over 400 people form both sides -- flight crews, researchers at the site, and foreign laborers forced to work there -- this classic history is thoroughly irresistible.
