The codeword used in the Dambuster operation, "Nigger", was taken from the name of Guy Gibson's dog. Extremely offensive nowadays.

Gibson's dog was killed after being hit by a car the day before the Dambusters raid. And he was the squadron mascot, it was kept secret that he had died until the mission was over, for superstitious reasons.

So Guy Gibson was a racist bloke and he had a black dog.

Back in those days nigger wasn't used as a derogatory fashion so it wasn't thought of as a racist word. If his dog had been white it would have been called snowy. Snow is white!

There is a little replica of the mohne dam about 12 foot long in a wood at the BRE (Building research Establishment) in London. this was used to test the amount of explosive needed to breach the dam.
