Germans were the first with useable atomics?!?

Yeah, so, rather than me giving shady 'facts' at best, I figured I dig up some reliable information.
The first link is an article by the Ministry of Foreign affairs, and as such is very to the point without much detail I'm afraid.

Second one seems pretty acurate and sums things up pretty nicely with some more detail, regardless of the horrid layout.

The most interesting thing, as far as I can see is that the one main act of sabotage Milorg agreed to do ended up being pretty important, crippling the heavy water production entirely.

Oh, and apparently there is a huge exhibition by (loosely translated) the Norwegian Sivil Front Museum, here's the info I could find in English giving some more detail. Should be an interesting read even though it's tied to the exhibition:

Small edit: Figured I might tell why Milorg was hesitant to agree to 'open provocation' via sabotage and direct conflict:

Not one man from that island survived, and the incident reminded Milorg that their first priority was to protect people, not engage in combat.
