The Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, also known as the Dnipro Dam, is a hydroelectric power station in the city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. The dam has a length of 800 metres (2,600 ft), a height of 61 metres (200 ft). During World War II, the strategically important dam and plant were dynamited by retreating Red Army troops in 1941 after Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union. The resulting flood killed between 20,000 and 100,000 civilians, along with Red Army officers crossing the river at the time.
While a second attempt at dynamiting the dam by retreating German troops in 1943 was averted, the dam remained extensively damaged, with the powerhouse hall was nearly destroyed. Both were rebuilt between 1944 and 1949.
