Fun haul of #blurays today! We went in to finally get #toystory4, but I also found both the 1955 war film #thedambusters and the 1962 historical film #the300spartans. It was quite a surprise, you don’t normally see older films like them in big stores such as The Warehouse. And now I wonder if Peter Jackson will ever get that Dambusters remake he’s hinted at off the ground... #film #film #movie #homemedia #bluray (at Christchurch, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3bfEsOh8SQ/?igshid=1vjndpb6drlsi

After inventing the "bouncing bomb," which can skip across water until it encounters a dam to explode, Dr. Barnes Wallis (Michael Redgrave) struggles for years to develop his new device for use in World War II. Once the bombs are ready to be tested, Wing Commander Guy Gibson's (Richard Todd) squadron must be specially trained to drop the sensitive weapons on Germany's Ruhr Dams. Based on true events, this British film features a legendary grand finale of special effects. #atthemovies #original #movieposter #filmposter #frame #hollywood #cinema #musthave #mood #vintage #poster #movies #posters #film #thedambusters #tbt #throwbackthursday (at At The Movies Posters) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrV3Uykhwlz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tik7x9c5xh7s

HAAKOY ISLAND, TROMSO, NORWAY...

It looks peaceful enough now, in the light of the endless Nordic summer sun. But Haakoy Island has a dark past, as the scene of the final, apocalyptic demise of the biggest battleship ever built in Europe.

Crippled beyond practical repair by a six ton bomb that had erupted under her bow, the once mighty Tirpitz was nursed on a final, two hundred mile voyage from Alta down to Tromso in October of 1944. The lumbering steel leviathan limped along at a pathetic eight knots, shielded by every warship that remained in northern waters.

By now, Russian troops had advanced into northern Norway. With her fearsome arsenal of firepower still intact, the Germans intended to use Tirpitz as a floating battery against the Red Army.

The RAF got there first...

On November 12th, 1944, thirty- one Lancaster bombers of 617 and 9 Squadrons, flying in crystal clear weather conditions, rained a hail of six ton bombs onto the crippled monster.

There were three direct hits, one of which ignited a main magazine. It threw a two thousand ton, fifteen inch gun turret hundreds of feet into the air.

Irreperably breached and broken, the battleship capsized in the lee of Haakoy Island like some kind of slaughtered hog. More than nine hundred of her crew either died in the attack, or eventually suffocated inside the capsized hulk.

'The Beast' had finally been put down. Her torn, half submerged corpse was butchered by a joint German and Norwegian effort after the war, but small remnants of Tirpitz continue to wash up on the bleak Haakoy shoreline to this day...
