    The code breakers of the past always astound me just in the fact there wasn’t a computer to highlight lines of code that match they are seeing and finding copies. All those numbers would just blur into 1 giant number to me

    It’s kind of hypocritical that we have and continue to spy as much as the next guy.

    I think General MacArthur might have got his mad way if the Soviets didn’t have the bomb during the Korean War. Instead he was dragged home in disgrace for putting the world at risk.

    We didn't call it " the Bomb " for security reasons we called it " The Gadget "
    Now that's the way you throw the dogs off track! 🤔🤦

      The British used a term "tanks" for armoured weaponry, the Germans called their heavy artillery types "Geräte" like a device.
      History is an epic portrait of greed full of double-meaning words and sentences.

    Personally, I can't understand why such bombs were ever made knowing
    the approx number of deaths & injuries each was capable of inflicting!
    And then to drop two....beyond human!

    Truman should of told Stalin to surrender unconditionaly. But they didn;t know the Ruskie were also working on the bomb

    • @morrisbuschmeier2047
      @morrisbuschmeier2047 Рік тому

      The Soviets in the 20s and 30s created a network of agents in the environment of (future) nuclear physicists, so in the beginning of the 40s Stalin was fully aware of potential power of atom.

    too bad Fuchs and crew didn't know how awful the Soviet Union was, commie in name only, but your basic dystopian/slave state. But they were naive and eventually suffered for it.

      It did turn out some of the accused were really communist agents. Read the Sword & the Shield. The Rosenbergs were actually Soviet agents according to post Cold War information from the former Soviet Union.

  • @yuglesstube

    Thats why Stalin was so annoyed at Potsdam. He knew that he was being kept out of the loop. The US got a hell of a fright in 1949. Werent expecting it.

      @ben-jam-in6941 Not really. He was told about a new weapon, but given no details. He already knew from Project Enormous that it was a nuclear device.

    It would have been helpful to include with regard to the second bomb on Japan, that (after being warned the first one would be bad) the Japanese were warned AGAIN and implored to surrender to avoid the destructive force. They refused. The U.S. had a third ready to go.
