a new mission was started in february 1943. this time, the norwegian commandos were able to sneak up to the power station and attacked it. the commandos set bombs on the machines that made the heavy water. the commandos left a thompson submachine gun behind on purpose so the german military would know it wasn't people from the town. the bombs destroyed the machines and stopped the station from making heavy water. no one from the ferry survived and the heavy water was lost. all of the commandos survived.
