fellow ridiculous historians, we have a classic episode that we can't wait to share with you.

Max, it reminds me a little bit of how we learned about the phenomenal sport of curling.

Thanks to you, because this is the literal weaponization of a wintertime sport.

Well, Ben, I don't know if you know this, but two days, almost five years on the show,

my favorite episode still is the sausage war episode.

We talk about skiing in combat along that one and also the Anus expedition.

Ah, yes, yeah.

All right, here's the skinny, folks.

There's a thing called Operation Gunnorside.

It's a story the Jedi won't tell you.

On February 27th, 1942, there were these guys who were super into sabotage, real spec

ops stuff. They wanted to attack a Nazi

controlled plant in Norway. And they had to figure out how to pull this off. They were outnumbered.

They were outgunned. They didn't know how they could get to the place, much less get away without being instantly discovered and murdered.

But as we'll see in today's classic episode, by gosh, by golly, they pulled it off.

They ruined the Nazi bomb project on literal snowskies.

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human.

Ridiculous History is a production of IHeart Radio. So, So close, so close. It is as if we are in gliders, which will make sense in a few minutes.

We are so close to an anniversary episode today.

This episode is publishing on February 26th, 2019,

but two days from now, if you're listening to this, the day it comes out, we will hit

the anniversary of something called Operation Gunnorside.
