[00:00:28]Rønneberg endured brutal Arctic training, learning to survive in sub-zero temperatures while mastering explosives. On a moonless February night, he parachuted into Nazi territory with his team.

[00:00:49]One wrong move would trigger alarms and doom the world to Nazi nuclear dominance. In complete darkness, Rønneberg planted explosives on the heavy water production line. The blast destroyed Hitler's nuclear program forever. This young soldier carried the weight of knowing that if he failed, the war and humanity's future [music] would be lost. His success changed history.
