Although not directly Naval based it is of a theme. “Heroes of Telemark”. If you keep upto date on this it is now VERY relevant! It was not actually known what was aboard the vessel sunk in the film at the time. Sir Winston Churchill ordered its sinking regardless of limited intelligence. There is a documentary on it soon also on the Discovrry channel. It is claimed that the heavy water lost in that one action halted Hitlers atomic programme in its tracks. If it had not been lost Ze Germans would of won the atomic race and the outcome of the War would of been very very different indeed! In retrospect the film truly depicts a massive shift in the history of mankind. It has only recently been confirmed as to that exact contents of the barrels sunk, although it was always believed to be heavy water. |
