Learning some WW2 history from this series. Did not know that NYC dock workers were sabotaging US shipping efforts during WW2 until Lucky Luciano gave the order to stop. Real patriotic bunch of thugs those guys were (sarcasm). Also learned that thanks to the efforts of a band of Norwegion special forces soldiers, the Nazis didn't get the last element needed to build an atomic bomb. The team blew up the machines making heavy water then went 400 miles on skis through the snow to the safety of Switzerland. They left one behind to keep watch. He saw they had production back up and running. The Nazis began to transport the materials. The lone soldier snuck aboard the ferry and placed an explosive device in the bottom. It was rigged to blow by alarm clock. When the ferry was half way across, it blew up and sank. Then there was the double agent code named "Garbo" (do a search of agent Garbo and you should find stories). Guy had balls of steel to double cross the Nazis. Thanks to him, the invasion of Normandy was a success.
