Raid to Norway

Raid to Norway

Artist Credit:

An act of sabotage which became famous and possibly had an effect on the outcome of the war, was the attack on the heavy water plant at Vemark, in Telemark county. Here, Norwegian soldiers, trained in the UK, were sent into action near the small town of Rjukan, where Norsk Hydro produced heavy water, a liquid chemical, which the Germans needed for the development of an atomic bomb. Although the Germans guarded the plant, the production facilities were destroyed. Heavy water which was en route to Germany was also destroyed, at the cost of many Norwegian civilian lives. Though no known Mosquito raid took place in WWII to destroy the storage of heavy water facilities this Snapshot is based on fictional information that the Canadian and Royal Air force may have acquired and acted on.
