Who was the Nazi General who called the Allied Gunnerside mission “the most splendid coup I have seen?” How did the Norwegians stop the Nazis' nuclear program for good? And how did one commando use a large amount of laxatives to save his mother's life?
Operation Gunnerside was a dangerous mission to destroy a Nazi heavy water plant in Norway. Led by Joachim Rønneberg, a team of commandos had to climb down, and then up, a 600-foot gorge to reach their target. They successfully planted explosives and destroyed the heavy water cylinders, but the team's escape would be just as perilous. Pursued by an entire German division, they had to navigate the freezing Norwegian wilderness, facing blizzards and close calls with the enemy.
Listen as Gordon and David conclude their series on this extraordinary mission and reveal what ultimately happened to the Nazi bomb program and its heroic saboteurs.
