In a century riddled with unrest, World War Two remains the epic tale... an event of unparalleled impact. Even now, we are uncovering new information. about secret weapons... and villainous tactics, about extraordinary heroism... and boundless shame; about a time when one life or one bullet, or one bomb separated infamy and glory... defeat and victory... tyranny and freedom... untold stories of World War II. On the 16th of July, 1945... a bomb exploded in the American desert a very different kind of bomb. The furious energy of the atom had been unleashed. That power might have landed in the wrong hands, had a few brave men not waged a secret war against Germany's atomic program. At the height of the Second World War, Germany's Nazi Party marched toward global domination, led by its ambitious, remorseless leader. Adolph Hitler had the will to conquer the world. All he needed was the weapon. And he had found the means to make one in the most unlikely place. It was here, in the snow-packed mountains of Norway, that a handful of soldiers on skis fought to stop Hitler's dream of possessing the ultimate weapon. Old men now, they remember how they risked their young lives for the cause of liberty.
