I think they all contributed - isn't that the point?

Not just the direct hits, but everything from start to finish alongside the 'misses' which also had a monumental impact in the sinking?

Wonder if the Dambusters argued like this?

aka my original statement 'no one will ever know'.

And that's the point. She went down thanks to a number of crews and attacks. One individual or one squadron might claim the glory, but the reality is that it was a team effort.

Hempy!

I'm with you mate!! ( although, re-reading my reply above, it's not clear!)

A great team effort, showing what can be done with bravery, determination and a sense of 'going into the unknown'!

The documentary was superb throughout - well worth a re watch!

Or maybe people will be too busy watching the Kardashians etc!!
