This series was conceived as a way of setting the record straight after the content of the 1965 film "The Heroes of Telemark" had failed to give the public a true picture of what had actually happened in the British-sponsored, Norwegian-executed raids to destroy or disrupt the German effort to produce heavy water in occupied Norway for the Nazi atomic-weapons programme. It was intended that this series ought to dispel the war-comic sensationalism surrounding the raids and give to the viewing public the real story, which is far more harrowing than the partly-fictionalised events depicted in the 1965 film.

As such, Ray Mears' BBC series on the raids is excellent. It vividly and accurately recounts the exploits of the Norwegian resistance members that sabotaged the heavy-water plant at Norsk Hydro's Vemork hydro-electricity station in Telemark, a southern Norwegian county, in German-occupied Norway. Mears with a composite team of Royal Marine arctic-warfare specialists and Norwegian soldiers from the Hærens Jeger Kommando (HJK: Norwegian special forces) re-enact elements of the raids that were carried out by the British-sponsored Norwegian sabotage teams from late 1942 onwards. The series goes on to explain the actual order of events of the raids, and the lengths of time involved, and the incredibly difficult conditions that the members of the sabotage teams had had to endure and overcome.

A really interesting docu` series.. (IMG:http://static.quicksilverscreen.com/ipb/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I really enjoy Ray Mears and his love for knowledge about living the old way. Most people on the planet would rather eat feces than try to live like generations past. Thanks to you and the person who uploaded it.
