Where did the Brits chastise the Germans in World War II?

I'm not sure if you are asking about Operation Chastise or what the question suggests. Operation Chastise was the official name for the attacks on German dams on May 17, 1943 in World War II using a specially developed "bouncing bomb". The attack was carried out by Royal Air Force No. 617 Squadron, subsequently known as the Dam Busters. The targets were the three key dams in the Ruhr area, the Möhne and the Sorpe on the Ruhr River and the Eder Dam on the Eder River. The loss of hydroelectric power was important but the loss of water to industry, cities and canals would have greater effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dambuster_Raids [Edited to add supporting info and reference - McG] Apr 17 04, 11:16 AM
