Besides the well-known "The heroes of Telemark" there exists an older French/Norwegian film from 1948 named "Operation Swallow: The Battle for Heavy Water"/"Kampen om tungtvannet"/"La Bataille de l'eau lourde" which is said to be a more accurate and less fictionalized account of the events.
Do any of you have this movie or know of a place it can be bought? I found http://www.robertsvideos.com/product.ph ... p3?alpha=K , but I don't know if I want to share my credit card number with this site. ![]()

Having just practised the google-fu, there are no obvious sources to buy the DVD, but there seems to be a number of sites that it can be downloaded from, although I don't have a current sign-up to test them
Obviously care needs to be taken that it's a pukka site that you download from, but that may be the simplest answer .... ?

'Kampen om tungtvannet' starred some of the members of the team which did the real life raid, the Ray Mears programme on the operation shows some footage of the film. I`m presuming its locked up in a Norwegian film archive somewhere.
Are there any Norwegian members on the forum ?, they might be able to source a local copy if one exists. ![]()
