Remember the black lab’s name.
Earlier on the day of the raid, the flight leader’s black Lab was struck and killed by a hit & run driver.
He gave orders that the dog should be buried precisely at midnight, since as he put it, “We’ll both be going into the ground at about the same time.”
Eight of the nineteen Lancasters did not return.
I thought it was a great movie, but I watched a version that had the dog’s name edited out.
Watching an unedited version was interesting. I had no idea.
As far as I am concerned, it was part of the whole thing.
