How One Norwegian Commando’s Midnight Raid Crippled Hitler’s Atomic Bomb Program Forever

On a frozen February night in 1943, Lieutenant Joachim Rønneberg led nine commandos on skis 400 miles into Nazi-occupied Norway. Their mission: Sabotage Hitler’s only heavy water plant at Vemork, dealing a devastating blow to Germany’s atomic bomb ambitions.

In this gripping documentary, experience the tension, courage, and ingenuity that defined Operation Gunnerside—a mission so daring it set Hitler’s nuclear program back by two years. Follow the Norwegian saboteurs through blizzards, deadly mountains, and near-impossible odds. Witness how these men destroyed Germany’s last hope for an atomic weapon—and then escaped while 3,000 German troops hunted them.
