The exciting, first-hand account of heroism and daring sabotage during the Nazi occupation of Norway. The outcome of World War II could very possibly have been much different if Knut Haukelid and his small, but courageous band of Norwegian soldiers had not been successful in sabotaging the Nazis supply of heavy water. The heavy water produced at a facility in occupied Norway was vital to Hitlers race with the United States to develop the atomic bomb. Knut Haukelids Skis Against The Atom gives the reader an intimate account of the valiant and self-sacrificing service that the not-to-be-subdued Norwegians performed for the whole free world.
Very Interesting Story of How a Small Group of Norwegian Soldiers Sabotaged Hitler's Atom Bomb
Book is written by one of the Norwegians who participated in the successful action to destroy the Nazis' heavy water plant that was crucial to their efforts to develop an atom bomb. Without the efforts of a small number of soldiers the course of World War II might have been dramatically different.
