Sweden's Hidden WWII Spies: Stopping the Nazi Bomb

10 min•5 november 2026

Om avsnittet

While Sweden maintained official neutrality during World War II, a covert network of intelligence officers and scientists worked tirelessly to disrupt the Nazi atomic program. This episode explores Operation Willgrut, where Swedish agents fed disinformation to German physicists like Werner Heisenberg about uranium scarcity. We dive into the tense interactions between Stockholm’s diplomatic corps and the Abwehr, revealing how small acts of sabotage and strategic lies helped ensure that Hitler never possessed the bomb. Through the eyes of Carl Hamilton and other lesser-known operatives, we uncover the shadow war fought in cafes and laboratories across neutral Europe.
