hey PSSST they also needed heavy water not just narvik anyway 5 stars

They needed iron ore first and foremost, so they could make steel - vital to tank, airplane and weapon production.

The heavy water was less interesting than the steel: After all, at this time in history, the A-bomb and nuclear energy was still mere science fiction, let best in the hands of scientists.

Don't get me wrong, the heavy water was important, but not nearly as important as iron ore.

Thanks for rating, and please share! :)
