BBC – Great Raids of World War II (2003) Part 1. Stopping Hitler’s Bomb
English | Documentary | Size: 457 MB
World War II was the greatest military confrontation the world has ever known. On land and sea and in the air, the scale of the conflict was unprecedented.
But amid the great campaigns were many smaller-scale operations which were vital to Allied success – occasions when small numbers of men could have an effect out of all proportion to their numbers; occasions when the course of the war hinged on their courage and daring.
This series looks at six such raids. With the use of veterans’ accounts; carefully researched archive film; meticulous reconstructions and 3-D graphics the viewer is put right into the heart of the action. The recreated raids include the British and Norwegian mission to smash Hitler’s nuclear programme; the canoe-borne commando assault on Bordeaux to disrupt supplies of raw materials essential for Hitler’s war machine; and the paratroop capture of a key German radar installation at Bruneval, which brought back information vital to enable Britain’s bombers to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

1. Stopping Hitler’s Bomb
It was Hitler’s deadliest secret – his scientists had promised him an atomic bomb. If he got it first, Nazi domination was assured. But the Germans needed one ingredient, heavy water which was only produced in one factory, deep in the heart of occupied Norway. In 1943 a team of Norwegian raiders was sent to destroy it – their success or failure could decide the outcome of the war.
