In this episode, we trace the daring Operation Gunnerside, where a small team of Norwegian resistance fighters and British Special Operations Executive agents infiltrated the heavily guarded Norsk Hydro heavy water plant at Vemork in February 1943. We explore how deuterium oxide was critical to early nuclear research, why the Germans sought to control it, and how Knut Haukelid and Josef Berg navigated the Hardangervidda plateau under freezing conditions to blow up the electrolysis facility. This story highlights the precision, courage, and logistical nightmares faced by those who resisted the Nazi occupation in Norway during World War II.
