Like the Norwegian heavy water sabotage, what other high-stakes wartime covert operations/sabotages had or were thought to have extremely important long-term implications?
Although the necessity of the Norwegian heavy water sabotage is debated, the decision at that time had major implications for long term safety/success. It's understandable to see how that mission could've been viewed as a succeed or face annihilation scenario. What other examples exist of operations like this where those involved believed what they had planned could change everything?

The actual norwegian heavy water operation is a 100 times more epic than the one we got in-game. DICE went for a fantasy resistance mary sue instead of the real group of madlads elite norwegian paratroopers ... a complete disgrace ... youtu.be/Kv3q6NHG-x4?t=48…
