In the game
The British campaign sends you into the dam’s defences on a sabotage mission, followed by a getaway.
History in brief
Built between 1908 and 1914 for water supply and flood control, the dam was breached by the RAF’s ‘Dambusters’ raid in May 1943 and repaired within months.
The place today
Still in service, holding back the Edersee reservoir, and a popular visitor spot with walks along the wall.
