Heavy water, or deuterium oxide (D20 or 2H2O), is essential for the succesful production of an atomic bomb. Heavy water was the key material needed for Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany to build an atomic bomb. However, he was prevented from finishing the bomb after the production facility it was being built in was raided by British Special Forces in 1942.

In an alternate timeline created by the continued living of Edith Keeler, Germany was permitted to complete its heavy water experiments, allowing them to be first in developing of the atomic bomb. This, together with the V2 rocket, enabled Germany to capture the world, ultimately erasing the Federation. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")
