Dynamit am Simplon
Werner Schweizer, Switzerland, 1989o
Shortly before the end of World War 2, the SS leadership wanted to blow up the Simplon Tunnel. The Swiss secret service contacted Italian resistance fighters: On April 22, 1945, they set fire to 64 tons of explosives - and thus saved the tunnel. A Swiss trainman and a Catholic priest also played an important role.
