Has anybody tried to cut and freeze a branch just to see if the berries could then be removed once frozen?

I don't understand why it is that the team could not radio for a rations air drop. After all, they were in comm with Blechley Park.

use a collendar or sieve

These guys knocked their pipe out.welldone each man a hero

So humbled, amazing men,we thank you so much ❤

My great uncle Sapper James Stephen was one of the men who was on the first failed mission. He survived the glider crash but as the documentary says he was caught and executed

Excellent episode, the nutritional information was very enlightening! Cheers, from two Canadian Seabuckthorn orchardists!

Early to mid 80's I was at Rjukan on my Msi's course and they got one of the Norwegians involved in the raid to come in one evening and give a talk on what happened. I cannot remember the Mans name but he as a very interesting person with a first hand account of how it was carried out. I thanked him that night for the lecture and had nothing but admiration for the mens courage and guile in getting their job done.

Should you clean them first?

Ugggh! Where is #14

The limitless respect and gratitude I have for this team. Their story should be told in every school - not the ideological garbage that gets peddled these days.

I miss part 14?

Lol they think the movie is bad wait until they hear about what Battlefield did. They completely eraser the Commandos from their own mission and had some random mom and daughter take the facility down.

Those commandos during ww2 were tough and brave! Been to Rjukan and to the museum it is a very interesting and beautiful place.

The toughest guys on the planet!

He done us proud!

They get on well, bet they had a good day out!

Wow. When was this tv series made? I have seen pretty much everything he has done, and I don't recall ever seeing this one. Then again, I live in Canada so we don't get BBC and other channels from the UK unless we had satellite back in the day, and that was very rare.

Why don't you show no 14?

I don't like mushrooms at all. Its completely irrational I just don't like them but that meal at the end looked very nice 😋

I’ve done a fair bit of long distance hiking and our packs usually came in at about 15 kilos.. believe me, you really know you’ve carried it at the end of the day. So, double that, travelling a much greater distance, in those conditions.. those men were tough! 😳

How do you know this is a true story? Why no critical appraisal? How did the Norwegian commandoes survive on the plateau in those conditions for as long as they did. This programme indicates it is not possible. Why would the germans leave the rail tunnel into the plant unguarded? Why such limited damage to the heavy water plant. Why no fire fight or casualties on either side? Did the Norwegians and germans collaborate to stage a limited damage mock sabotage raid? Did the germans do this to limit damage and loss of production? Did the Norwegians do this to forestall an Allied bombing raid with subsequent loss of civilian lives? The Norwegians first duty was to Norway's best interest.

It seems to me Ray that what you saying is that it wasn't possible for the commandoes to survive in the way they claimed? I have visited both the plateau in summer and the hydro power station. Survival on the plateau in summer would be difficult and entry to the plant impossible. I believe the Norwegians cooperated with the Germans to fake the sabotage of the heavy water machinery in order to forestall an Allied bombing raid, that did subsequently occur twice with Norwegian civilian casualties. The 'fortuitous' entry to the plant via the unguarded tunnel, combined with no loss of life of either the commandoes or German guards and the minimal damage done. I think it is time the Norwegians come clean on this one.

How could anyone go to all the trouble to upload almost all the videos in this absolutely amazing story ... and deliberately hide the climax and most exciting one of all, (Episode 14) ? It takes a certain kind of sadist to waste peoples time like this and get some unfathomable kick out of spoiling other's enjoyment.

Can almost taste those penny buns 😁

Although all those that participated directly in Operation Grouse survived the war, it should be noted that Leif Tronstad died late in the war on March 11, 1945.

Lose the music. So distracting.

GOD BLESS THE DIRTY HANDS THAT MAKE THE FREE LIVES OF FREE PEOPLE POSSIBLE. ♥️♥️♥️

An incredible story so well told. I keep coming back. Why did the BBC never release this?

Does anybody remember the episode where Ray made a raft? from a circle of sticks, forming a doughnut shape which he then lashed a tarpaulin over it, put his possessions into a waterproof bag, inverted the lot and paddled his way across a lake. I would love to see this again, it was one of his earliest films on the tv.

I haven't seen this for ages. I've looked for it but to no avail. Thanks very much.

Outstanding documentary. Thank you.

Does anyone have the actual recipe of Mears' bannock? I mean literally the recipe he uses in this video, i'd be curious to give it a shot myself, but i'd like to have all the ingredients and exact amounts down before i attempt to make it myself. Thanks to anyone who'll answer to this.
