Have you watched the film, LB? Losses on Chastise started when coasting in, let alone making the dams. They were blown south into heavily defended airspace and suffered accordingly. One of your successors even produced the Met charts to prove it. A northerly 30kt wind that was forecast as calm.
Sorry if I offended your sensibilities, and gladly withdraw guess work for state of the art. They still got shot down as a result of it though.
