In 1943, the Axis powers bombed Allied cities with abandon. Traditional retaliation was ineffective; a more innovative counter-attack was needed. Since the Nazis required huge amounts of water to build steel weapons, the British decided to blow up German dams in the industrial Ruhr valley. But how? Aircraft designer Barnes Wallis devised a bouncing bomb; able to skip across water, cling to its target, and detonate at a specific depth.

Comments about PBS Secrets of the Dead: Bombing Nazi Dams DVD:

I teach high school physics and the video shows and excellent use of scale factoring and modeling to solve a real problem. The scientific method is also involved. I am not sure if there is an accompanying resource for this program but I plan on making one for it!

Comments about PBS Secrets of the Dead: Bombing Nazi Dams DVD:

I show this to my Geometry classes every year. Initially, they moan and groan that we are watching a PBS program, but they truly enjoy the program and get interested in the problem solving very early on. The music and special effects add to the interest.
