The British Banker Turned Spy That Sabotaged The German Nuclear Program

At the outbreak of war in 1939, the British government hired banker Charles Jocelyn Hambro as part of their spy unit SOE. Hamrbo's intelligence and quick thinking soon worked his way up the ranks. His crowning glory was the operation he devised to disrupt the German nuclear program in the early years of WW2.

Excellent documentary! Thank you.

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

It was the second time I saw this magnificent documentary ....thanks for sharing

[@mynamedoesntmatter8652]

Great doc, I love another one I saw about this too. This is such a phenomenal op when the details are laid out. These men survived more than what’s alluded to in this though.

Very very good!!!

Many thanks for this film! ❤

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.

"Banker Turned Spy." That's been the historical pattern.

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!

[@anthoneyzerbe3219]

They did an episode on this on "Draining the Oceans" it's pretty good. Check it out.

@@Hamdalorian24 The first time I watched it, I was so enthralled by it so I watched it again. Then the next week I must’ve watched it four or five times over. Thrilling intrigue.
