Copenhagen 1948: The heavy water saboteurs from Kompani Linge visit Copenhagen in connection with the launch of the movie "The Battle of the Heavy Water" where several of the saboteurs played themselves. The sabotage against the heavy water factory at Vemork at Rjukan took place on the night of February 28, 1943. The production of heavy water was of great importance to the German attempts to produce nuclear weapons.
