    Good real life story. It should send chills down people's spines.

    For the most part only WW2 historians and armchair historians know it. Maybe they would vote differently if they knew.

    Excellent thriller. Watch the TV series 'The Sabateurs' which is much more true to life about Operation Gunnerside. Keep ducking 🖖💥

    Some of the heavy water canns were raised from the lake a few years ago.
