Biography
Captain Hamish Grant was recruited into the SOE from the Scots Guards. Fluent in Norwegian from pre-war climbing expeditions, he was parachuted into occupied Norway in 1943 to organise resistance networks and sabotage German heavy water production facilities. He spent 18 months operating behind enemy lines, surviving several close encounters with German patrols. His work contributed to the disruption of Germany's nuclear research programme. Hamish returned to Glasgow after the war and became a mountaineering instructor.
Biography (Russian)
Капитан Хэмиш Грант был завербован в SOE из шотландской гвардии. Свободно владея норвежским языком благодаря довоенным альпинистским экспедициям, он был десантирован в оккупированную Норвегию в 1943 году для организации сетей сопротивления и саботажа производства тяжёлой воды. Он провёл 18 месяцев за линией фронта. Его работа помогла нарушить ядерную программу Германии. Хэмиш вернулся в Глазго и стал инструктором по альпинизму.
