[00:00:00]In 1943, six Norwegian commandos received a suicide mission that would determine the fate of World War II.

[00:00:06]Their target, a fortress deep in Nazi-occupied Norway. Inside, German scientists were producing heavy water, the key ingredient Hitler needed for atomic weapons. The allies had one chance to stop him. The commandos parachuted into a frozen wasteland. For months, they survived in caves, eating moss and reindeer scraps in minus 40° weather. Then they struck.

[00:00:27]Skiing silently through blizzards, they infiltrated the heavily guarded Vemork plant. In 18 minutes, they planted explosives and vanished into the night.

[00:00:35]The facility was destroyed. Not a single civilian died, but the Nazis weren't finished. They loaded the remaining heavy water onto a ferry. The Norwegians sank it.

Six men on skis changed the course of human history.
