| Aanvullende informatie |
The Dambusters raid of May 1943 — Operation Chastise — saw 617 Squadron deploy Barnes Wallis's bouncing bomb against the Möhne, Eder, and Sorpe dams in the Ruhr valley. Of the 19 Lancasters dispatched, eight were lost and 53 aircrew killed. The Möhne and Eder dams were breached, flooding the industrial heartland below, though the long-term strategic impact has been debated by historians ever since.
Guernsey has no direct connection to the raid, but issues coins of this type purely as collectibles under its Crown Dependency status, which grants it the right to produce its own coinage independently of the Royal Mint.
