Link. NY Times profile of Joachim Ronneberg, 96, the only living member of a World War II commando team that blew up a Norwegian plant that was Nazi Germany’s only source of heavy water.
“There were so many things that were just luck and chance,” he said of his 1943 sabotage mission that blew up a Norwegian plant vital to Nazi Germany’s nuclear program. “There was no plan. We were just hoping for the best,”Skills and experience are important in life, no doubt, but it still surprises me how much a role chance plays.
