What is the real history behind 633 Squadron (1964)?
In this cinematic WWII film review, we explore how 633 Squadron connects to the real RAF operations against the German battleship Tirpitz in Nazi-occupied Norway during 1944.

Although the movie tells a fictional story about a dangerous Mosquito squadron attacking a German target hidden inside a fjord, its inspiration is closely tied to the real missions carried out by RAF 617 Squadron — “The Dambusters.” After their famous dam-busting raid in 1943, 617 Squadron took part in some of the most dangerous precision bombing missions of the war, including the hunt for the mighty German battleship Tirpitz.
