I remember going on an organised tour for the 50th anniversary of the raid, and in our group (there were several buses, ours was fortunate enough to have Hopgood's sister onboard, the first time she had visited the place, which was quite emotional in itself.)
After the planned synopsis of the raid was given by (I think,) Alan Cooper, he asked if there were any questions... "Yes," pipes up a guy from our bus, "how many nights a week did they do this?" Cue gasps of astonishment and disbelief from the rest of the crowd... needless to say, our man didn't ask any further questions after that...
Several years ago, I also visited the Ennepe dam, which was quite difficult to find (by car) and lying in quite a steep valley, so it would have been as challenging to attack as the Eder. I have some photos I took of both the Moehne and Eder dams, and the repair work is quite easy to make out, even to this day, particularly so for the Eder.
