BBC Operation Crossbow HDTV x264 AC3 MVGroup

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.

It was quite interesting to see that a lot of the equipment they were using in this was what I was using
even in the early 90's, for some tasks, especially the large table top stereoscope; used those in plotting
height obstructions for a low-level radar navigation system.
