I still dont think Germany would have one the war even if they had the 262 operational in 1942. It would have made the war a lot different from what we know it today but win no. The key for Germany was to take England and not attack Russia. If they had taken England the US would have had no location to place there bombers and to stage there troops. After England had fallen then the Germans could have turned there full attention to Russia and probably would have defeated them too.

England was vital. Whoever controled the Britisch Isles controled the North Atlantic, and would have not given the US a place close eneogh to stage there troops from. It also would have made it a one front war.

I dont know too much about the raid however destroying a damn can take care of several things. One is if the damn was used for electrical power then you can ellimante a major soarce of power, the damn being destroyed could also be used to flood major areas of land and it can also be destroyed if the damn was hiding other things. But I dont know eneogh about the raid itself, I have read many books on the subject but do not recall much about it.
