The Saboteurs (2015)

Episode Overview

In the midst of World War II, Nobel laureate Werner Heisenberg leads the Nazi atomic initiative. To advance his reactor project, Heisenberg requires heavy water, exclusively manufactured by Norwegian Hydro at Vemork. Leif Tronstad, the scientist behind the heavy water plant and a member of the resistance, grows wary of the Germans' increasing orders for heavy water. Concerned about the implications, he reaches out to British intelligence to share his suspicions and gather support against the Nazi efforts.
