  • Someone worthy of mentioning

    The leader of a daring World War Two raid to thwart Nazi Germany's nuclear ambitions has died aged 99, Norwegian government officials said on Sunday. Joachim Roenneberg, serving behind enemy lines in his native Norway during the German occupation, in 1943 blew up a plant producing heavy water, or D2O, a hydrogen-rich substance that was key to the later development of atomic bombs. Picked by Britain's war-time Special Operations Executive to lead the raid when he was only 23 years old, Roenneberg was the youngest member of Operation Gunnerside, which penetrated and destroyed key parts of the heavily guarded Norsk Hydro plant.


    It always annoys me the retarded notations of "the guy that played Howdy Doody turned 417 today" on certain survival sites, which of course are used as FILLER for lack of real content.

    Rarely do you see someone actually worthy of mention getting mentioned, here is one in the link.

      He was a great man. I remember watching a documentary about the raid awhile back. Truly amazing he made it out.
