I remember reading a book about this when I was a kid. And I'm sure I've seen a movie or two on the subject.
Another of the war's lesser-sung heroes. RIP.

Amazon had a great short series, “The Heavy Water War” which gave some additional insight and expanded far beyond “The Heroes of Telemark”. Really, though, it wasn’t until after the war that we learned that the Nazis were nowhere near a bomb, even with the heavy water.

The Japanese on the other hand, detonated their first bomb before we detonated ours...using up all of their fissionable material.

I stopped watching season 3 when I saw in episode 3 that they were going to have a perverted scene.

heavy-water was only a small problem relative to the rest of the problems with the nazi bomb program ... among another problems they lacked many other critical, specialized materials resources, including the ability to machine ultra-hard uranium plates ... their biggest problem was that they ran practically every physicist who tried to teach or apply “jewish physics” (namely quantum physics) out of the country ... the only decent physicist they had left was Heisenberg, who miscalculated the amount of U235 to achieve a chain reaction by two orders of magnitude ... many still debate whether Heisenberg did this on purpose or not ...

For a recent (2016) read about the Vermork plant raid, Neal Bascomb's "The Winter Fortress" is pretty good. Roenneberg is mentioned quite a bit.
Not specifically related but in the same vein of Scandinavian derring-do, check out a Norwegian named Bernt Balchen.

Really? Are you really that retarded to believe such nonsense?
