Or Norway.

These 10 people, changed the war. Most experts agree is this plant was not destroyed, Germany would have developed atomic weapons before the US.

If you want to watch a movie about it, there is this one:

Although not completely accurate, it drives the point home.

No doubt there was some absolute heroism in bringing down the heavy water facility.  That being said, most experts believe that Germany was never very close to the atomic bomb.  Germany decided fairly early on that an atomic weapon wouldn't end the war (Ha!) and it wasn't a priority for the largest part of the war.  Jeremy Bernstein's "Hitler's Uranium Club" is worth a read if you're interested.  That movie looks like it'll be worth a watch.  Thanks for the info!
