The Heavy Water War (Norwegian with English subtitles) https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Water-War-Anna-Friel/dp/B01B21LUPO/ The King's Choice (Norwegian with English subtitles) https://www.amazon.com/Kings-Choice-Jesper-Christensen/dp/B07673TV86/ Trailer: The Heavy Water War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K3Ry2K4yNE The King's Choice (2017) Trailer (Norwegian with English subtitles - click on "Show More" and there's a description of the movie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNtu-bCGi18 I highly recommend getting good movies or documentaries where people speak Norwegian (or Swedish or Danish) and there are English subtitles.  I use them to get my ears attuned to hearing the spoken language, hearing the cadence, the syllables stressed, unstressed.  As long as actors or voice-over speakers don't speak too fast and enunciate clearly, I can understand a few of the words, and then listen and understand more and more if I watch them fairly often, and I practice some of the words and hope I get at least a few pronounced correctly.  The terms we read all the time in genealogy sources I can understand without translation. Of the limited words I understand, Norwegian and Swedish are easier for me.  Danish sounds very guttural (more German) and pretty much defeats my efforts at trying to speak proper Danish pronunciation because they pronounce so many words back and down in the throat.  I suspect one has to be born into the language to say the words the way they do.

The book I read was "The Winter Fortress" by Neal Bascomb. It has a very detailed index. The destruction was not a one time thing. There had to be several missions to scout the territory, how to get inside, how to obliterate the electrolysis cells, how to destroy the heavy water inventory ( just dumping it in the river works). Another book by one of the prime operators, Knut Haukelid, is "Skis Against The Atom."

I just recently watched an old movie on TV about the destruction of the heavy water plant in Norway. My grandmother was born in Norway and the family emigrated when she was a baby. My great grandmother passed when I was 9 my 16 year older than me cousin said our great grandmother had talked with her about Norway and how she used to ski. Wish I could have talked with her more.

The production line was bombed, yes, but quickly repaired. Then the ferry was sinked and project feeding Germany was abandoned. But heavy water production continued for many years, even after I started studying in 1969. When production was abandoned due to other reasons, the production place had no value to owner, and production site was tried destroyed and entrance sealed. The hydrogen factory at Vemork which was the venue of heavy water production ceased some time before 1977, and the unnecessary factory was demolished by using dynamite, the production locality of heavy water included, jun. 21, 1977 and sealed. Everyone believed the room had been completely demolished, but something failed and when reopened, it turns out most was still intact and since the factory is protected by law, and is now planned to be made into a museum https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vemork

*Richard - http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php** ** **It would be long and laborious, but the above web site has pronunciations of words in whatever language you select, and different voices saying the word(s).  I use it rather often. Normally I only have it pronounce one word at a time, or pronounce the three extra vowels one at a time so I can try to remember how each sounds for a while.  I did take Norwegian for two years back in the early '80s, promptly forgot most of it because I didn't have anyone with whom to practice speaking the language.  I do remember how to pronounce some words and most of the alphabet, but I assume I do so with an American accent and probably don't stress the correct syllables.  I do know how to pronounce a few words properly, but those are the ones we use in genealogy research and titles such as Oldemor (=gr-grandmother so I can teach my gr-grandson who I am instead of the relationship way of designating who I am).  At least I can trill the R sound which I know some Americans can't (or won't).  This is why it's easier for children to learn foreign languages: they aren't afraid of making new sounds, or at least trying to make new sounds.** ** **Your project sounds interesting.  As an aside since it is not your style of music, the performers in Eurovision usually sing in English rather than their native languages.  Almost all winners have sung in English, and it's understood by all audiences since so many countries teach English as a second language -  I know the Scandinavian countries do so from grade school through high school and college which is why tourists have no problem communicating with people there.  The hosts of the show speak in English and French, and individual countries break in with their own announcers.  Last year's Eurovision winner was from Portugal and he did sing in Portuguese (I confess, I didn't understand a word and didn't like his performance either), so the contest will be in Lisbon this year.  I notice more entries this year are in performers' native languages.** ** **The Eurovision song I'm rooting for this year was composed in English by two Swedes and is performed by Rasmussen from Denmark.  Their first live performance (outside of the night they won in Denmark) will be on the night of the second semi-final - and hopefully in the final as the winner (Norway and Sweden are also performing in the second semi-final, and hopefully the final). * **Rasmussen - Higher Ground - Denmark - Official Video - Eurovision 2018** ****https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeraDSzu0nw ***Sung by Jonas Flodager Rasmussen, written by the Swedish duo Niclas Arn & Karl Eurén.  Rasmussen - Higher Ground (Eurovision Denmark 2018) Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasmussen_(singer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_Ground_(Rasmussen_song) “Higher Ground” is an interpretation of The Viking Age with references to an old Viking legend where some Vikings chose not to fight with weapons but chose peace instead. Arranger of the national contest, Mads Enggaard, described the song to Danish broadcaster, DR: "The message is strong and forever applicable; an invitation to seek peaceful solutions to conflicts and is inspired by the legend of Viking Magnus Erlendsson." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_Erlendsson,_Earl_of_Orkney * **Interestingly, I can hear the Scandinavian pronunciation in the English words sung by Abba and English lyrics sung by today's Norwegians, Danes, and Swedes, particularly in how the S sound is made.  Abba won Eurovision in 1974, and the accent is more pronounced with the O sound when they sing 'book' and 'lose.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FsVeMz1F5c *;-)  The Vikings invaded Lisbon ca 844 ACE.... ;-D Why not a peaceful and musical invasion in 2018? ;-) Alexander Rybak of Norway has an entry this year, but it's not as good as his 2009 entry which got the highest score in Eurovision history, and that score was not topped (under the old scoring system).  Eurovision now has a new scoring system, but both he and the dance group Frikar did a wonderful job.  Look them both up on Wikipedia for more info and bios. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiH4BFTELME Whenever you get your music composed and recorded (and on video?), be sure to let the list know so we can listen/watch.

Norman, That sounds very heroic, indeed. But the title doesn't sound familiar, and I remember the book I read being about a single incident that began in the UK. My memory isn't what it used to be, so the book I read may have been about one piece of what this website is about. Thanks for finding it for us.

The Shetland Bus may be the book you read.

I know that there were at least a very few instances of Allied spies going in the other direction during WW II. I read a book--non-fiction--about one such instance where a crew went from the UK in what as I recall was a purported fishing boat up the west coast of Norway into one of the fjords, to meet up with Resistance people waiting for them. They ran into a lot of trouble, some with the boat, some with the Nazis. It took them a long time to escape, but with the help of the Sami, they got out safely, minus some frostbite, with the information they were seeking. I don't recall how they got out of Norway, probably through Sweden. This is all very vague, I know, and may not help you at all. I do recall that the book had a number of maps showing the route of the man who was the major spy involved--who was Norwegian. He's considered a Norwegian hero, of course. If I could remember his name, Wikipedia would have an article. I do keep lists of the books I read, but went back to 2015 and couldn't find the book.

He was from Ulvik in Hardanger in Hordaland. I saw the title of some of work, and I would guess he either used his local Hardanger dialect or used New Norwegian (Nynorsk). Beeing Norwegian I of course know how to pronounce Norwegian.

I like the economy of means and directness of his language. I just don't know how to pronounce Norwegian, for I wish to set his Norwegian to music. Anyone have any clue on how Norwegian is pronounced? I know there are various dialects. I don't know which dialect Olav Hauge spoke.

While he was a fairly recent Norwegian media personality he was also known as a poet. It is said that, "The poem 'Vårherres klinkekule' (Our Lords Marble) is one of the most beloved in the history of Norwegian poetry." His musical performance of this poem can be found online with English subtitles. https://youtu.be/yEikFGKAFUo and in Norwegian: https://genius.com/Erik-bye-varherres-klinkekule-lyrics His book (in English) "Blow, Silver Wind" holds an honored spot on my bookshelf.
