They have the physicists, they have the uranium, and now all their plans depend on amassing a single ingredient: heavy water, which is produced in Norway@12@s Vemork, the lone plant in all the world that makes this rare substance. Under threat of death, Vemork@12@s engineers push production into overdrive.@87@ /> @95@#160;@87@ /> For the Allies, the plant must be destroyed. But how would they reach the castle fortress set on a precipitous gorge in one of the coldest, most inhospitable places on Earth?@87@ /> @95@#160;@87@ /> Based on a trove of top secret documents and never-before-seen diaries and letters of the saboteurs, @28@The Winter Fortress@018@ is an arresting chronicle of a brilliant scientist, a band of spies on skies, perilous survival in the wild, sacrifice for one@12@s country, Gestapo manhunts, soul-crushing setbacks, and a last-minute operation that would end any chance Hitler could obtain the atomic bomb@95@mdash;and alter the course of the war.@85@@85@@85@@85@@85@@85@@95@#160;@86@@86@@86@@86@@86@@86@@86@
