Incidently one of the bombs from the raid was found, unexploded, buried near one of the dams in the early 1960's. German bomb disposal had no idea how to defuse it and a British unit was despatched to do the job. Appartently because of the secrecy they were also partly in the dark but managed to make the thing safe.

The Germans recovered an unexploded mine after the raid and presumably made it safe as the technical drawings and notes they made at the time are what the Royal Engineers use today. Apparently, there was no official british literature to use.....
