Becoming a Fan of Norwegian TV

The Heavy Water War is about the various efforts to prevent Norway's deuterium refinement facility from shipping heavy water to Germany for Werner Heisenberg's fortunately unsuccessful nuclear weapons program.  It's got action, human drama, and you may even learn a bit about the nuclear power program of the time.
