Fun Fact! During World War II, the Nazis came dangerously close to developing Plutonium, but used by America!
As if the Nazis weren't already evil enough, they got dangerously close to producing plutonium, the material that powers nuclear bombs. When the Germans invaded Norway, they seized control of a facility in the Telemark region that manufactured heavy water, which was used to generate plutonium. However, before they could create anything, a group of 11 Norwegian commandos damaged the factory, detonating explosives in the base without incurring a single death.
