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.

Trivia: We can see that FLTLT 'Digger' Gillibrand (John Meillon) is wearing a uniform that is of a much darker blue than the other pilots. Australian Air Force uniform of the era was dark blue rather than the RAF blue-grey; and purportedly made from much better material as well.
