Plot hole: The factory in Norway has to be destroyed - at huge cost - as it is producing fuel for the V2 rocket. That fuel was ethanol - ordinary industrial alcohol. There is no reason at all to have a specialised factory hundreds of kilometers away producing such a simple chemical. The Germans could have manufactured it in virtually unlimited quantity in an ordinary brewery - and there were plenty of those in Germany.
