“Après Moi, le Déluge takes the audience through the experiences of Royal Air Force Squadron 617 as they embark on the famous “Operation Chastise” raid, earning them the famous title, “Dambusters.” The squadron was formed under great secrecy during World War II at the British Royal Airforce’s Scampton station on the 21st of March, 1943. Not only did it involve British forces, but also soldiers of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force, and Royal New Zealand Air Force. This squadron was created in order to attack three dams (Möhne, Eder, and Sorpe) that provided water and power to the Ruhr industrial region in Germany in favor of the Nazis. The plan, codenamed “Operation Chastise,” was executed on the 17th of May, 1943.”
