Nazi leader Adolph Hitler had the V-2 rocket. Now all he needed to defeat the British and secure his 1000 year Reich was an atomic bomb for von Braun’s rocket to deliver. Sir Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of Great Britain, learned of the Nazi efforts to build an atomic bomb from a Norwegian engineer who had escaped Nazi-controlled Norway.
The engineer worked at the only plant in the world that made “heavy water,” a critical substance in the research and fabrication of an atomic weapon. Leaving his family and making a daring high risk escape, he told the British of the Nazi plans. Churchill immediately ordered both land and air attacks on the heavy water plant at Ryukan, Norway.
But after four failed attempts, the British Special Operations Executive was out of options. English King George and Lord Halifax were willing to make ‘a deal with the devil,’ offering to give Hitler free reign in Europe if the British could keep their Empire. But Churchill refused, declaring: “You can’t negotiate with a tiger when your head is in its mouth.”
Realizing that the British Empire was on the cusp of being destroyed by the Nazis, Churchill ordered the SOE to make one last effort utilizing that last remaining men trained for a desperate mission to destroy the heavy water plant. Churchill requested Young James Bondsman undertake this last ditch effort to save Great Britain and the world from the nuclear Nazis.
Before there was the man who became Ian Fleming’s hero, there was the boy who became that man. This is his story.
