The operation of which you speak occurred in Norway, not the Netherlands.
It was also essentially an operation of Norwegian resistance movement, with British bumbling also part of the action.

Aside from the temporary destruction of the hydroelectric production plant,
the last large shipment of heavy water was destroyed by sinking a civilian lake ferry, with some "collateral damage".

The movie version of all this was "The_Heroes_of_Telemark", not the "Dambusters":
