SYNOPSIS
The heroic tales of World War II are legendary, but Operation Crossbow is a little known story that deserves to join the hall of fame: how the Allies used 3D photos to thwart the Nazis’ weapons of mass destruction before they could obliterate Britain.
This film brings together the heroic Spitfire pilots who took the photographs and the brilliant minds of RAF Medmenham that made sense of the jigsaw of clues hidden in the photos. Hitler was pumping a fortune into his new-fangled V weapons in the hope they could win him the war. But Medmenham had a secret weapon of its own, a simple stereoscope which brought to life every contour of the enemy landscape in perfect 3D.
The devil was truly in the detail and, together with extraordinary personal testimonies, the film uses modern computer graphics on the original wartime photographs to show just how the photo interpreters were able to uncover Hitler’s nastiest secrets.

i liked the bit when the narrator mentioned that the germans had ballistic missiles and rockets ready and aimed to hit the uk,and back then,the commanders in the uk,said,they dont exist,as the uk did not have rockets,this was the same response when Frank Whittle invented the jet engine,and they said the idea would not take off,pardon the pun,and could not see passengers using it,a tad of narrow mindness,me thinks.
2000 missiles were going to be used,a german inventor went on to work in the usa on space missions,a brainy lot those jerries.
