This map is inspired by a real WW2 operation executed in february 1943 called Operation Gunnerside.
Operation Gunnerside: 6 Norwegian elite soldiers in English uniforms parachuted over Hardangervidda, joined with the scouts, reached Våer, and approached the factory along the railroad tracks, an area that had no mines. While the rest kept guard, the demolitions team entered the heavy water plant and destroyed the heavy water cells.
900 kg of heavy water was lost (including production losses). Afterwards the scouts remained on the mountain, while the demolitions team went on skies into Sweden.
