Synopsis

RAF Medmenham served as a critical hub for Allied intelligence during World War II. Analysts there used 3D photographs captured by Spitfire pilots to identify Nazi weapons of mass destruction. As Hitler focused resources on his V weapons, the team employed a stereoscope to create detailed representations of enemy sites. Personal testimonies and modern graphics illustrate how these efforts prevented potential disasters for Britain. Directed by Tim Dunn, Operation Crossbow runs for 59 minutes and was released in 2011.
