CoolStuffInc has the Wings of Glory Dambuster model of the Lancaster bomber on for cheap, cheap, cheap!  Great looking model and it comes with some cool rules, a map, and some aiming devices to simulate the dam bombing raids.

I doubt that would be enough to stop me from buying something.

I'm fascinated by the battle. No doubt this will mean me reading 'Hell in a Very Small Place' and 'The Last Valley' again.

Of course, you have to remember that the 'French' forces were mainly made up of Colonial Parachute battalions, which were 50% Vietnamese, and Foreign Legion Battalions. Also, most of the gunners were colonial troops from North Africa.

There were a lot of German WWII vets in the French Foreign Legion and other military forces, too. If I remember right there were several at Dien Bien Phu.

Someone's posted that movie up on youtube, but it might have been taken down by now.
