A little story about a small town museum and visitor center being interesting. We live in Dandridge TN and stopped in because we hadn't been in before. The man inside told us about a German couple who stopped and asked him where Douglas Dam was because they could not find it. He told him that he had been a young officer in the German army and was tasked with taking a small group of men to blow up the dam. It never happened he said because the war ended before it could be put into motion.
There are several TVA dams in the area that were built to supply power not only to the area but to Oak Ridge, The "Secret city", that enriched the uranium for our atomic bombs that were used on Japan. The Germans Knew about everything we were doing. Interesting that he would want to see the dam he never got to blow up.
