 One of the most dramatic and important military missions of World War II was Operation Gunnicide. The Nazis had an arctic base that was part of their atomic bomb project and 11 men took it out. The Allies sent 30 British soldiers to sabotage the plant but a combination of awful weather and the Gestapo killed the entire group. So the Allies sent something even more deadly than 30 Brits. 11 Norwegians. The Germans decided to strengthen the plant's defences, plant landmines and add more guards to the factory. The only way to get into the factory was a Nazi held bridge over a 660 foot ice gorge or at least the Germans thought that was the only way in. The Norwegians simply climbed down the supposedly unscalable ice gorge and snuck into the factory and planted explosives that destroyed the factory. This mission was one of the most dramatic and important military missions of World War II. Click on the link below to see the full video
