Duterium and Heavy Water

Five missions were carried out to try and prevent the germans from developing an atomic weapon. One mission involved four norwegian agents parachuted into the area, joined up with four special agents of special forces agents that had been deployed lier on a reconmiss mission. They all attacked the plant, destroying the heavy water section of the plant, and costing the germans something like 500 kilograms of heavy water. Now in more recent years, there are all kinds of interesting uses that have been discovered for duterium and and heavy water that might not have even been imagined early on. But it's an idea that's been around for a long time.
