I'm not sure why the LiveChat replay is not visible on this one - sorry folks

We will pose the following questions:

1 Why is the UK obsessed with the Dams raid 80 years on, and indeed is it just the UK?

2 Is that obsession problematic, and if so why?

3 Was the raid worth it? The guests to offer different perspectives on how success might be measured.

4 What aspect of the raid needs reassessment and why?

5 Each guest raises a final point they would like to make about the raid for the others to react/reply to.

Guests:
Rob Schäfer is a military historian specialising in the experience of the German soldier and the egodocuments – autobiographies, diaries and letters – he left behind. He is a published author, producer, writer, researcher, media adviser and battlefield guide.
