The bomb illustrated early in the video is of a gun type atom bomb, which was a uranium fueled device. In fact it was an illumination of the Little Boy bomb that was dropped over Hiroshima. Additionally the German atomic program was disjointed and underfunded and never ahead of Allied efforts in any practical way. However the actions of the Norwegian heroes of SOE, seriously disrupted the German atomic program even further, to the point of grinding it to a halt.

Did the Germans even get to the point of designing a practical bomb?

Chales Hambro were given the norwegian section due to the fact he was related to Carl Joachim Hambro, the speaker of the norwegian parliament, who was a vital part of the norwegian government in exile

I love the music and I love the commentary but not together!! It makes it very distracting and for me impossible to listen to. What a pity! Can't understand this current trend of loud music + commentary!

What a contrast between US and UK documentaries. The UK ones treat you like a thinking person capable of following a story. US made ones are aimed at the average imbecile. With reiteration of plots or storylines constantly, as if they are making documentaries for goldfish 🐠. This was an excellent example of a proper, intelligent documentary.

Nice presentation, but somewhat exaggerated. Heavy water was but one component of a highly complex process required to produce the bomb. It is strongly implied here that but for the Germans not having sufficient heavy water, they would have succeeded in producing a nuclear weapon. It was quite clear at the end of the war that the Germans never came close to developing the bomb.

The Germans definitely were on the right track for the atom bomb, they were even able to do a small demonstration in one town in late 1944, but they lacked the plutonium in early 1945. They needed at least a few more months. This raid may well have been the deciding factor because they had the V2 rocket and the Horton bomber to deliver it.

The war stories we read or are told as children omit the civilian casualties. Except in the case of destroying German cities as that is the object of the exercise.

You can bring more equipment, can offload rather than disperse the troops and can, theoretically land with more accuracy than planes can hit a DZ

This doc could have been completed in much less than half an hour. You don't need to keep showing vids of Atom, or even H-bomb explosions as we KNOW how devastating it is. And you NEVER really say how close the Krauts actually were to developing the A-bomb (NOT the H-bomb), technically, other than the requirement for heavy water (over and over). Unfortunate, could have been MUCH better. Anyone heard of brevity?

No. Had Germany possessed all the heavy water in the world, they had no way to produce U235 or plutonium. The only nation on earth with the industrial capacity to do so was the United States. Read the book Making The Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes.

Yeah, nice movie except... the third reich was nowhere near producing an a-bomb and didn't have the means to continue their research. Not to take away from the bravery of these Norwegian men at all. But, the suggestion the war would have been lost without their efforts is a bit of a stretch.
