The Ski Raid That Stopped Hitler's Atomic Bomb — Telemark, 1943
n the winter of 1943, nine Norwegian commandos skied into the mountains of occupied Telemark to do what a force of British glider troops had died trying to achieve: destroy the one factory on Earth capable of supplying Nazi Germany with the heavy water it needed for an atomic bomb. This is the story of Operation Gunnerside, the descent of a cliff the Germans had declared impassable, the silent raid on the Vemork plant where not a single shot was fired, and the 300-kilometre ski march to Sweden that followed. It is one of the most daring and consequential acts of sabotage in the history of war.
