  • August 29th, 1949: four years after the U.S. drops the first atomic bomb, the Soviets drop one. No one expected it so soon. Behind the scenes of this major event of the cold war, the Soviets developed one of the biggest networks of moles of the century. In this episode of “Spies of War”, you will discover how and why brilliant scientists divulged the secrets of the atomic bomb to the sworn enemy of the U.S, and how U.S. counter-intelligence services cracked their codes to expose the leaks.

    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

    We didn't call it " the Bomb " for security reasons we called it " The Gadget "

      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.

    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.

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

      @morrisbuschmeier2047 7 місяців 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
