I love the fact that this channel exists.

Telemark province - the land of my mother's father's lineage, the 2nd richest (to the royal capitol and Oslo territory). I love hearing about this heavy water machinery from the Fjord waters, and the eventual sinking of the barrels on the fjory ferry being blown up and sinking. Norway has greater worldwide impacts that are not known by the rest of the world, since ancient times.

The Germans were very far away from creating the bomb at war end. This actually surprised the Allies. While destroying the heavy water was important and a great operation, the Germans program was minuscule compared to the Manhattan project. Unfortunately quite a bit of hubris at the end of the documentary.

The Heroes of Telemark.

Thanks for the good documentary.

My great-grandparents were from Orkney. Fascinating.

Missing some details the allies still wont acknowledge. Shame how the truth on this subject is still so hidden.

Pretty good! I liked the deep dive into Hambro, the SOE, and the use of mostly accurate clips! Some criticism- the details of the actual raid seemed nonexistent.. 2 min video time. I thought the explanation of what heavy water is/is used for could be better. Op Gunnerside was a success, but the video refers to it as “flawless” after just describing the blunder that was Op Freshman. It is an interesting “what if” but realistically it would never have happened. Germany lacked the raw uranium, the ability to refine it, the capability to deliver an atomic weapon, and heavy water was a non-starter (hence why the allies didnt use it despite manufacturing OOM more than germans). Doesnt detract from the bravery of these men one iota. But germany was never going to have an atom bomb having started the war when AH did.

I can still remember the “Hogan’s Heroes” episode that was about sabotaging the heavy water shipment. I saw that close to fifty years ago, I’ll remember that more than this documentary that’s full of holes.

One of the biggest what ifs in history

The Allies were looking for a project that equaled our Manhattan Project. The Germans were interested in a tactical warhead for the V2 rockets. There are multiple reports of projects under General Kammler in a variety of areas. One involved a report by a German pilot getting caught up in a mushroom cloud, his instruments going haywire and suffering nosebleeds. Reports of Russian POWs being placed close to a detonation and their deaths. Citizens and military being treated for a variety of unexplained burns and uncontrollable nosebleeds. Yes, a ferry carrying heavy water was sunk in a fjord. Yet, the Germans had small multiple labs spread throughout a variety of areas under different scientists.

Good this. Thanks. 🌟👍

Personally speaking, I don’t think that the Germans were ever close to the nuclear Bomb , they did improve right , but they were far far away from competing with other powerful nations

Very informative

Cool doc but for a few reasons beyond heavy water the Germans were not that close.

SOE who later became the SAS the greatest and most respected spacial forces in the world

Da habe ich vor vielen Jahren schon einen Film gesehen.Eine Fabrik die - da oben- - schweres Wasser - erzeugte. Hatte was mit der Bombe zu tun. Ist also alter Hut diese Episode...

What was the German and Hitler’s reaction when the Heavy water production was destroyed ? You would think that hey wait a minute maybe there is something about this Atomic Bomb thing !!!

Cant imagine how different the world would be if the Nazis had mastered heavy water.

Great doc. Great narrator.

Norwegians still a fighting type

That’s definitely the fabled “wonder weapons” that he was futiley promising 😅

oh please..they were never close to a bomb

Hambros is really over inflated in this episode., the truth is he bungled most operations involved in Norway.

Scores of innocent Norwegians died for these vainglorious men.

Liked the movie. It didn't explain why heavy water was important. Probably one of the closest run skirmishes of WWII. It could have failed.

👍

There werent warheads at the time. Your title is stupid.

white clothes but black packs. makes SO much sense.

Paranoia is the wrong word. Inexcusable. Lots of errors describing gliders. Nervous background music. Comes across as a lot of hype.
