That is a great story...how the Brits sent in teams of commandos to destroy the heavy water plant...itvwas fictiolized the the movie "The Heroes of Telemark"
The Germans scientists knew that A bomb can explode by using Uranium in lieu of Plutonium. Uranium ore was available in German Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia tewn of Jachymov. The Germans built a reactor, possessed heavy water and knew how to split atom since 1938. The fact that the Germans ran out of time to complete a nuclear weapon, was good and lucky for the World.
The Germans had over 1,000 tons of uranium that they took from Belgium when they invaded. The largest uranium mine with the highest quality ore was the Shinkolobwe mine in the Belgian Congo. The Belgians controlled the mine and used it mainly as a source of radium. The Germans also had access to uranium in the Jachymov mine as you've indicated. The Germans forced war prisoners to work in the Jachymov mine. When the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia and unpacked their communist government, they took over the mine and it became the source of the uranium for their atomic program.
They didn’t have all the information. They knew about heavy water and generally how to build one, they didn’t know all the specifics to make it work. They were close in that they had most of the pieces for a bomb just didn’t know all the technical aspects.
Germans during the war had mainly an energy supply problem so their closest nuclear aim was a nuclear reactor. They still had some important way to cover until the chain nuclear reaction, to sustain an explosion , but they had the feeling , but not the experience , it was somewhere close . The problem was actually solved by a german scientist working in Los Alamos at that time !
The Nazis were first in the world with tactical nuclear bombs! And even went as far as starting a series production of them, they were used on the Kursk front, tested oustide the island of Rugen, several high ranking witnesses saw the explosions...
The Germans could figure out the science and design for an atomic weapon. What they lacked was spare industrial capacity needed to be diverted to produce enough fissile material. Just remember the immense scale of the plants here in the USA that for the time could barely produce material for a handful of bombs. At the same time in the war the German war economy was in no position to create such massive plants in secret nor secure them. Why do you think that to this day the number one concern about Iran's nuclear program is their uranium centrifuge capacity? It's because the most difficult part of the construction of a nuclear weapon to implement is producing fissile material.
@@Obiamajoyisrmd Fissile material is an element that produces excess neutrons when it is split by a neutron. With uranium 235, one neutron is used to split the atom and it releases either two or three neutrons. The average is 2.3 neutrons. Plutonium emits an average of 2.91 neutrons when it is split (more fission events produce three neutrons than two neutrons). When the atom releases neutrons, the excess neutrons cause another atom to split causing it to emit neutrons, and the process cascades causing a chain reaction.
They had plenty of spare industrial capacity and they were awash in cash. What everybody misses about the WWII German nuclear weapons program was that it was primarily (though not entirely) under SS control. Do you have any idea how much captured war booty was liquidated by the SS, and how many slave laborers that organization used in its secret weapons projects? The answer is: billions of dollars, in present day terms, and millions of slave laborers. Further, the Germans, unlike the Manhattan Project, DID successfully design and build the ultracentrifuge, which was orders of magnitude more efficient at uranium separation - enrichment than the workable but huge and ponderous American version at Oak Ridge, TN. Still further, most of their nuclear weapons concepts involved utilizing fusion in synergy with fission, which not only greatly boosted the blast yield of any completed devices but also required significantly less fissile material.
It took 25% of all energy produced in the United states between 1941 and 44 to produce 2 atomic bombs ! It also took all of the silver , so German could not afford to do it or produce enough energy for one bomb !
It's highly unlikely to improbable that the Nazis were able to isolate weapons grade U235 from uranium ore. It took the Tennessee valley authority hydro electric system, gold and silver to use a efficient electric conductors to isolate enough U235!! The Nazis didn't have this ability. I very much doubt that 140 pounds of weapons grade U235 was recovered from Germany!
In the Manhattan project, Fermi built a reactor with only natural uranium and Graphite moderator. (Allies destroying heavy water was to send them in the wrong direction.)
The reactor contained 45,000 ultra-pure graphite blocks weighing 360 short tons (330 tonnes), and was fueled by 5.4 short tons (4.9 tonnes) of uranium metal and 45 short tons (41 tonnes) of uranium oxide. Unlike most subsequent nuclear reactors, it had no radiation shielding or cooling system as it operated at very low power - about one-half watt.
It doesn’t matter because when told about the possibility, even at the end of the war he replied “stop it. I won’t hear of it. Do you know the kind of destruction that would mean?” Similar to his orders regarding the tons of chemical weapons they had. Not to be touched, moved, or even suggested.
This has long been understood to be in short: not close. Reference the note at 16:40. Even in the excerpt not highlighted you can get context clues. They were disrupted at every stage, most of which a reactor. But bombing raids wouldn’t have allowed them to finish regardless. Hence the “nevertheless”
@@khaleelibr96 what it comes down to (and why the russians could develop a nuclear bomb so quickly) is that simple nuclear bombs cannot be scaled and rely on indepth knowledge of critical mass (which the russians obtained via spies), density, pressure characteristics etc. even getting the fissile material just isnt really enough. The americans developed these things through painstaking research with many casualties along the way. Being very close means you are still very far away. in theory after first year uni student can design a bomb but without knowledge of scale and quanities required its impossible.
From Wiki - The Heroes of Telemark is a 1965 British war film directed by Anthony Mann based on the true story of the Norwegian heavy water sabotage during the Second World War from Skis Against the Atom, the memoirs of Norwegian resistance soldier Knut Haukelid.
Amazing production and narration. Concise and informative. Way to go Timeline, make more of these instead of just having some guy talking at us like we are in his lecture hall. Amazing production value very great quality congratulations!
Its already well known the Germans were no where near making or testing a nuke. America was only able to develop one because they had the time and peace to gather resources. Germany just didnt have access to the materials needed to make a nuke at that time. The Russians learned how to build one from spies they had in the American camp. In Rocket tech the Germans were miles ahead of everyone else. Would have even been more ahead had Germany saw its worth in the 1930s. Rockets were not seen as a weapon of total war in the 1930s because they were so small.
Ughmkay, it's also well known US is 100% controlled by the same filth all pilgrims fled Europe from, but shhh, that's not advertising funded either... 🍺❤🤙 👉😷💉 🌳🍏🐍
And there has only been one country that could have avoided being bombed with nuclear weapons if they had accepted the Potsdam Declaration sent to them on July 26, 1945, or at least agreed to use it as the basis of negotiations for ending the war. Never forget that they chose to sacrifice their own citizens rather than end the war.
During the cold war we had ridiculously sized bombs but they've gotten smaller since. A single missile carries many warheads and most are around 750kt. Not even a megaton.
If true, this casts a whole new reason for the Allies 'Germany first' argument...particularly where the US wanted to deal with Japan themselves and then changed their mind so that Europe wasn't a race between only between the British and the Russians.
Actually, quite a bit is known about it. They lacked a source of uranium but they had most of the physics correct. The United States Strategic Bomb Survey documented all of that at the end of WW 2.
Closer that anyone can dare imagine and in combination with a V-3 to be developed, it would be devastating for the allies and it would have been victory for the Third Reich.
I can recommend looking into the huge amount of work done by Tino Struckmann and his youtube channel, he has researched many sites and made a brilliant connection between the administrative side of things and what we are being told today, i.e the amount of concrete and labour used for Riese and what we are being told what is currently identified as Riese do not add up.
Yeah watching Tino all the time. Its funny now to see so called historians debunk the German physicists, yet most of em went to Russia and the west, helped them with their nuclear projects and even got USA and Russians into space. So that being said. They probably did make nuclear reactors for fuel or set detonation off to see the outcomes. Helped by Hans kammler, via organisation group Todt, payed by seimens, ADG, the German postal service etc, well funded, used slave labour. Truth willout
There is also the multi generational sense of national guilt to consider.Modern day Germany,does not want to do anything,that brings up any suspicion of them doing anything with the foul,odious stench of Nazism.
Even if they had made the bombs and successfully tested them it was already too late. They could have inflicted serious damage but the allies would have still moved on Berlin.
@@Ligerpride yes except the intent would be different the U.S wanted to end the war. Germany would have wanted to crush its opposition to ruling the world.
@@mr.president3633 two sides of the sam coin, one just "lost". Both Germany and America had no intrest in perpetual war. They just wanted to make ends meet. Sad fact of the matter is America is the only country in the world to use Nucular weapons on innocent civilans, or on people in general. Every major country has kept pows. Israel is in charge so of course youre only gonna hear that side of the story
Thanks for this very informative documentary.Please could you look in and do one of Japan unit 731.You never hear about this when you watch ww2 documentarys.The western media never mentions it at all.Thank you
A few years ago I looked up Unit 731 on youtube and video's are on here, or at least they were. Unit 731 led by Shiro Ishii was brutal beyond believe, horrific.
And to America: Pearl Harbor, Bataan Death March, Iwo Jima, Singapore, Sandakan, Doolittle’s Raiders, Unit 731 vivisections, torture, human experiments, kamikazes, cannibalism on Ie Shima, Midway, Chichijima/ Ogasawara incident, Kempei Tai, Death Railway, POW slave labor IN Japan, bombing hospitals and hospital ships, Red Cross, and POWs, and on and on. Shall I continue?
They were alot close getting a nuclear bomb, than people know. If they could of held on a bit longer. There was a good chance America would of given them one, even before Japan
No, they weren't. After talking with Heisenberg about how long it would take to create a bomb, Speer dropped nearly all funding for nuclear research. The funding available didn't even fund Heisenberg's program adequately. The Germans had no knowledge of building uranium separation and enrichment facilities and had no knowledge of plutonium production and chemistry. So, the Germans were not "alot (sic) close (sic) getting a nuclear bomb..." The Germans had ZERO knowledge of atomic cross-sections of uranium and plutonium and the interaction with fast neutrons. Without that - you can't even begin to design an atomic bomb.
Sound so stupid even if they were were so close they weren't cuz it never happened USA was first. So there u go either u got it or u don't there is no such thing as close
Not that close. They had no way to make a "reactor" to make plutonium. The elimination of the heavy water plant in Norway helped assure that. They did NOT have pure enough graphite to make Converter reactors.
That 8" nuclear artillery shell used something called a "swan device" type atomic warhead. This is exactly the same design as the SS plan for nuclear weapons. Which may be the actual source of the Thuringia tests. If this is the fact, it is curious that Germany never deployed such a weapon. Even a inefficient warhead would have been useful for Germany at that stage of the war. I guess we should be thankful that they didn't deploy it
@@motiv311 If that was the case, why did they do two tests? A two point ignition "swan type device" only requires something on the order of 250 grams of fissile materials. Yet the Reich sent a lot of such material to Japan at the end of the war
Fantasist, they were absolutely nowhere in nuclear weapons development, they were nowhere even close to making a critical reactor! Would they buy the ready materials from America?
Just imagine the wonder weapons countries have now. All this early development didn’t just stop, it merely changed locations. Knowing how huge some underground facilities/ cities, basically, are now, I’m sure the latest stuff would seem like magic.
Luckily, a ton of time, energy, and resources went into space exploration and advanced technology. Although, I think weapons research has had a new resurgence in the last decade, unfortunately. Imagine if we stayed focused on space with every metric of spare resources after the moon landing, instead of going to mars, we might've been gearing up to send a generational ship to Andromeda.
@@TheDJOblivion yeah definitely agree- it comes down to goal- do you want a tool for a species or a weapon. We can use the energy we can master to get off our planet and become truly a cosmic species or we can use it to kill each other. As a type 0 civilization, we should be a lot more judicial with our use of energy we can derive from this planet.
@@TheDJOblivionyeah no, space exploration and nuclear physics are more closely related than you think, it’s not a research or money problem, it’s a material problem. We just don’t have the resources yet to do something like that, also you need to go light speed to actually traverse the cosmos unless something like a gravity drive we’re made but we don’t know if that’s possible or what it could theoretically create or destroy
@@bobbythomas6520 i don't believe I said anything counter to the points you just made, if the US alone spent the entire defense budget on space exploration over the last 65 years we most certainly could've built and launched a generational starship to Andromeda, even though it would take so long we'd probably pass it with whatever type of star drive we end up developing.
Yea the Japanese plan should have been a blitz to push as far as they can, Pearl Harbor, then hit the west coast. Take LA, then you would have a much better bargaining chip than a few destroyed WWI era battleships.
True The Manhattan Project need super large town size complexes like Oak Ridge .Hanford and Y-12 employing 120,000 but the Germans made one in a small cave dugout somewhere.
There are college kids who have the technology to build one the size of a small suitcase. The fissile material can be bought internationally if you have enough money. They are low grade bombs but still very dangerous.
Just think of Germany had another 10 years weapons development And much more stable leader that wasn’t drugged out of his mind before they started the war we would’ve been in trouble
Maybe. At some point he would of still ran into supply issues. And he still had Canada to deal with if they landed in America. And Mexico. And they never would of been able to keep up with losses in Europe, America and Africa. A land attack in America would be the end for anyone. They never really fought Africa. They just hung out there. Really, anyone who thinks they can take the world is pretty stupid. But if he got the atomic bomb first... game over.
No matter what country rises up. The greatest nation on earth "USA" and those who stand for democracy will always be there to grind these people to dust.
some times I wonder if we never developed nuclear bombs , would we still be in wars , or will we live in peace , although we never reached full peace ,but nukes stopped huge powers from colliding with each other .
Wars have been happening as long as there have been humans to fight each other. Why would war have stopped after WW2? As far as we know there has always been at least one war happening somewhere on earth at any given time. World peace is a nice idea and surely something we should always strive towards but will never actually be achieved for any meaningful length of time.
COVID is a war is just a different kind of war. They can only use proxy wars now, nukes have made wars like WW2 obsolete so they have to figure out another way. They want war and always have. We have had for the most part horrible globalists presidents with a couple exceptions. JFK was killed in part because he went rouge.
@@fuktrumpanzeeskum yes there have always been a war going , but huge wars stopped after WW2 , no major powers engaged directly in war with each other. now if we never reached nuclear destruction , would we still have major wars? (Ukraine and Russia), (Arab -Israel), (US in Vietnam) are not huge wars.

Many nations have made contributions to technology, science, medicine, industry, etc. But I have a special fondness for German ingenuity. They have always made excellent products. We don't see much of it in everyday products in America anymore.
48:54 if the government tells you to stop digging, that means you're on the right path. Its obvious that the yanks found what they were looking for there in the 40s
"Conventional Wisdom" is a-bombs need to be Uranium235. But contradictions are U235 advantage is only if neutrons are moderated; bombs do not have moderators. U238 fissions from unmoderated neutrons (all neutons during explosion). Difference is U235 emits 2.6 neutrons per fission; U238 only releases 1.6 neutrons per fission. Hence German "neutron multiplier" theory had basis.
It doesn't matter. They had no fissile material, no way to make fissile material didn't understand the chemistry involved, etc. They were never close to an atomic bomb.
New evidence and documents, unknown "and not created" until now tell a different story. I'm really loving the new level of truth about things these days. Makes me feel safe and sound. Can I get a WHO or CDC amen?
@@buckhorncortez Exactly, got there before me. The Germans started ahead in just about everything, as they had been preparing for war for many years. The Allies caught up and even surpassed them in many fields once they started.
@@cnocspeireag they were first to find where the sky stops. Otherwise known as Antarctica. Knowledge has exploded since they discovered it and made the treaty...
As it was, they didn't even have a working reactor by the end of the war. Also, Heisenberg, who was a theoretical physicist rather than a practical one, vastly overestimated the critical mass of U-235, making a nuke way too heavy to go on a rocket or plane.
That's because the Germans had no way to do experiments that would give them the neutron capture cross-section with fast neutrons. Without knowing that, you can't successfully design either a reactor or an atomic bomb.
@@noldo3837 No point. They probably buy the old line that Heisenberg and Pauli knew exactly how to make the bomb, but chose not to. However, if you look at the Marsh Farm transcript, where Heisenberg, Pauli and other German nuke scientists were bugged while under British captivity, you can see their reactions when news of Hiroshima comes on the radio. They're incredulous at first: impossible, we proved it's impossible, etc. But after about an hour, Heisenberg says, "I've been such a fool. Of course! The critical mass..."
It was not due to Heisemberg but to those deciding about the direction of the planning of the project. Besides no report was given of any experiment to show they could handle an atomic explosion . In comparison the availability of the ME262 was by far more important to Germany at that time
General Kammler also had access to a very large Junkers 390 transport jet that was capable of long -distance flight; I'd be willing to bet he loaded up whatever he was working on and flew it to the Americans for asylum, probably first to somewhere in North Africa and then west.
I think he came on a u-boat, specifically U-234 that supposedly came to American shores in early-spring 1945, with a "very high ranking" SS officer on board that brought with him a large amount of Uranium-235 sealed in 24K gold containers, as part of a surrender deal heal made with the U.S. I think it's a mighty big coincidence that we shortly after that time (July-August), had enough Uranium-235 to make at least 3 nuclear bombs, when the head of the facility that produced all of our U-235 at that time, in Oakridge, Tennessee wrote in a letter that we would "possibly" have enough U-235 to make ONE bomb by sometime in November.....🤔
@Sean Embry well Germany to this day do not have have nuclear weapons but they do have weapons grade enriched uranium which is possibly held in Argentina
@Sean Embry Argentina became a huge haven for fleeing Nazis especially the SS where they established entire towns and communities , when especially during the late 1970s and 1980s it was dangerous for western journalists to venture in Argentina
They weren't as close to it as people think . The norsk hydro was only making heavy water that's a neutron stabilizer that absorbs stray neutrons in a reactor an atom bomb dosnt have heavy water . It's for a reactor not atom bomb

@B87 Beveiliging the USA also now have a vegetable in charge more reason to be worried
@@khaleelibr96 what it comes down to (and why the russians could develop a nuclear bomb so quickly) is that simple nuclear bombs cannot be scaled and rely on indepth knowledge of critical mass (which the russians obtained via spies), density, pressure characteristics etc. even getting the fissile material just isnt really enough. The americans developed these things through painstaking research with many casualties along the way. Being very close means you are still very far away. in theory after first year uni student can design a bomb but without knowledge of scale and quanities required its impossible.

It's interesting to see that Bane branched out into narrating documentaries.
From Wiki - The Heroes of Telemark is a 1965 British war film directed by Anthony Mann based on the true story of the Norwegian heavy water sabotage during the Second World War from Skis Against the Atom, the memoirs of Norwegian resistance soldier Knut Haukelid.

Its already well known the Germans were no where near making or testing a nuke. America was only able to develop one because they had the time and peace to gather resources. Germany just didnt have access to the materials needed to make a nuke at that time. The Russians learned how to build one from spies they had in the American camp. In Rocket tech the Germans were miles ahead of everyone else. Would have even been more ahead had Germany saw its worth in the 1930s. Rockets were not seen as a weapon of total war in the 1930s because they were so small.

There has been only 1 country who used them, never forget
And there has only been one country that could have avoided being bombed with nuclear weapons if they had accepted the Potsdam Declaration sent to them on July 26, 1945, or at least agreed to use it as the basis of negotiations for ending the war. Never forget that they chose to sacrifice their own citizens rather than end the war.
the whole idea is terrifying
The atomic weapons used during ww2 are like little hand grenade compared to the H bombs built later.
During the cold war we had ridiculously sized bombs but they've gotten smaller since. A single missile carries many warheads and most are around 750kt. Not even a megaton.
They didn’t even need 10 years. Just a more logical leader.
If true, this casts a whole new reason for the Allies 'Germany first' argument...particularly where the US wanted to deal with Japan themselves and then changed their mind so that Europe wasn't a race between only between the British and the Russians.

Actually, quite a bit is known about it. They lacked a source of uranium but they had most of the physics correct. The United States Strategic Bomb Survey documented all of that at the end of WW 2.
It was called the Riken Effort. But the Japanese had only about 100 people working on it......nothing compared to Project Manhattan.

I can recommend looking into the huge amount of work done by Tino Struckmann and his youtube channel, he has researched many sites and made a brilliant connection between the administrative side of things and what we are being told today, i.e the amount of concrete and labour used for Riese and what we are being told what is currently identified as Riese do not add up.
Thanks for that. I watched him last year abroad and could not find him until now with your help.
Meh
Yeah watching Tino all the time. Its funny now to see so called historians debunk the German physicists, yet most of em went to Russia and the west, helped them with their nuclear projects and even got USA and Russians into space. So that being said. They probably did make nuclear reactors for fuel or set detonation off to see the outcomes. Helped by Hans kammler, via organisation group Todt, payed by seimens, ADG, the German postal service etc, well funded, used slave labour. Truth willout

If they did make those bombs they could have forced the war to an armistice and even regain territory. Cold war era would have been alot scarier.

Shall I continue?
They were alot close getting a nuclear bomb, than people know. If they could of held on a bit longer. There was a good chance America would of given them one, even before Japan
No, they weren't. After talking with Heisenberg about how long it would take to create a bomb, Speer dropped nearly all funding for nuclear research. The funding available didn't even fund Heisenberg's program adequately. The Germans had no knowledge of building uranium separation and enrichment facilities and had no knowledge of plutonium production and chemistry. So, the Germans were not "alot (sic) close (sic) getting a nuclear bomb..." The Germans had ZERO knowledge of atomic cross-sections of uranium and plutonium and the interaction with fast neutrons. Without that - you can't even begin to design an atomic bomb.
Sound so stupid even if they were were so close they weren't cuz it never happened USA was first. So there u go either u got it or u don't there is no such thing as close
Indeed paradoxically collapsing when they did shortly before the first atom bomb was ready saved Germany from a Hiroshima and Nagasaki experience
Not that close. They had no way to make a "reactor" to make plutonium. The elimination of the heavy water plant in Norway helped assure that. They did NOT have pure enough graphite to make Converter reactors.
Hello Mark could you concisely explain to me the general intricacies of nuclear production if you have the time? Cheers.
If they weren't that close then how do explain what was going on in the Jonas valley in Germany near the end of the war?
The Germans found another way to produce a nuclear bomb without using heavy water.
Na we did have heaps, I was there. Franz lost the key to the storage room though, we spent the last months of the war trying to find it.
@@tylermiron6854 they really werent, i doubt germany had enough resources to actually make a bomb

That 8" nuclear artillery shell used something called a "swan device" type atomic warhead. This is exactly the same design as the SS plan for nuclear weapons. Which may be the actual source of the Thuringia tests. If this is the fact, it is curious that Germany never deployed such a weapon. Even a inefficient warhead would have been useful for Germany at that stage of the war. I guess we should be thankful that they didn't deploy it
no doubt they tried, their infrastructure was probably just too far gone by that point to be effective enough to put it in the field
@@motiv311 If that was the case, why did they do two tests? A two point ignition "swan type device" only requires something on the order of 250 grams of fissile materials. Yet the Reich sent a lot of such material to Japan at the end of the war
Fantasist, they were absolutely nowhere in nuclear weapons development, they were nowhere even close to making a critical reactor! Would they buy the ready materials from America?
Never deployed because they didnt have viable weapons.This whole doc plays out like a Hollywood horror movie. WIth Zombie SOldiers.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 according to this film , they got all the way to some sort of test
the device shown at 2:07 looks just like the gadget from the trinity test...
Just imagine the wonder weapons countries have now. All this early development didn’t just stop, it merely changed locations. Knowing how huge some underground facilities/ cities, basically, are now, I’m sure the latest stuff would seem like magic.
Luckily, a ton of time, energy, and resources went into space exploration and advanced technology. Although, I think weapons research has had a new resurgence in the last decade, unfortunately. Imagine if we stayed focused on space with every metric of spare resources after the moon landing, instead of going to mars, we might've been gearing up to send a generational ship to Andromeda.
@@TheDJOblivion yeah definitely agree- it comes down to goal- do you want a tool for a species or a weapon. We can use the energy we can master to get off our planet and become truly a cosmic species or we can use it to kill each other. As a type 0 civilization, we should be a lot more judicial with our use of energy we can derive from this planet.
@@TheDJOblivionyeah no, space exploration and nuclear physics are more closely related than you think, it’s not a research or money problem, it’s a material problem. We just don’t have the resources yet to do something like that, also you need to go light speed to actually traverse the cosmos unless something like a gravity drive we’re made but we don’t know if that’s possible or what it could theoretically create or destroy
@@bobbythomas6520 i don't believe I said anything counter to the points you just made, if the US alone spent the entire defense budget on space exploration over the last 65 years we most certainly could've built and launched a generational starship to Andromeda, even though it would take so long we'd probably pass it with whatever type of star drive we end up developing.
Thanks!

The US was largely undisturbed by war when they developed the atomic bomb, in much the same way they were able to outproduce the entire axis.
Pearl Harbor had been attacked. What I'm talking about is the time just before the bomb was created.
Yea the Japanese plan should have been a blitz to push as far as they can, Pearl Harbor, then hit the west coast. Take LA, then you would have a much better bargaining chip than a few destroyed WWI era battleships.
And this is one of the only sane response in this comment thread. Basic occum razor being applied.
They had the Wunderwaffe yall never played zombies, damn.
To build an atom bomb, first you have to build a Hanford, or an Oak Ridge.
True
The Manhattan Project need super large town size complexes like Oak Ridge .Hanford and Y-12 employing 120,000 but the Germans made one in a small cave dugout somewhere.
I think that it more likely was a prototype of an air-fuel bomb. Those things can get really big and powerful.
and with half-starved, recalcitrant slave laborers!
There are college kids who have the technology to build one the size of a small suitcase. The fissile material can be bought internationally if you have enough money. They are low grade bombs but still very dangerous.

Maybe. At some point he would of still ran into supply issues. And he still had Canada to deal with if they landed in America. And Mexico. And they never would of been able to keep up with losses in Europe, America and Africa. A land attack in America would be the end for anyone. They never really fought Africa. They just hung out there. Really, anyone who thinks they can take the world is pretty stupid. But if he got the atomic bomb first... game over.

Odd Dr Hans kammler is also the leader in the development project for the Bell
some times I wonder if we never developed nuclear bombs , would we still be in wars , or will we live in peace , although we never reached full peace ,but nukes stopped huge powers from colliding with each other .
Wars have been happening as long as there have been humans to fight each other. Why would war have stopped after WW2? As far as we know there has always been at least one war happening somewhere on earth at any given time. World peace is a nice idea and surely something we should always strive towards but will never actually be achieved for any meaningful length of time.
COVID is a war is just a different kind of war. They can only use proxy wars now, nukes have made wars like WW2 obsolete so they have to figure out another way. They want war and always have. We have had for the most part horrible globalists presidents with a couple exceptions. JFK was killed in part because he went rouge.
@@fuktrumpanzeeskum yes there have always been a war going , but huge wars stopped after WW2 , no major powers engaged directly in war with each other. now if we never reached nuclear destruction , would we still have major wars?

I feel like Bain is reading me a story, not a vibe 🙃🙃
OMG! This is like "History" Channel. Lot of speculation based on "evidence" taken out of context.
"Conventional Wisdom" is a-bombs need to be Uranium235. But contradictions are U235 advantage is only if neutrons are moderated; bombs do not have moderators. U238 fissions from unmoderated neutrons (all neutons during explosion). Difference is U235 emits 2.6 neutrons per fission; U238 only releases 1.6 neutrons per fission. Hence German "neutron multiplier" theory had basis.
It doesn't matter. They had no fissile material, no way to make fissile material didn't understand the chemistry involved, etc. They were never close to an atomic bomb.
New evidence and documents, unknown "and not created" until now tell a different story. I'm really loving the new level of truth about things these days. Makes me feel safe and sound. Can I get a WHO or CDC amen?
From Canada: Thank you Norway.
incredible how far ahead of everyone else the Germans were! truly astonishing!
Except they were not far ahead in nuclear science. Both the British and Americans were far ahead of Germany in that field.
I smell a wehraboo.
They were DECADES ahead of the rest! Not years, some day the truth will come out, but not yet, its too early still
@@buckhorncortez Exactly, got there before me. The Germans started ahead in just about everything, as they had been preparing for war for many years. The Allies caught up and even surpassed them in many fields once they started.
@@cnocspeireag they were first to find where the sky stops. Otherwise known as Antarctica. Knowledge has exploded since they discovered it and made the treaty...

He thought nukes were useless because of the work that would’ve gone into having planes big enough to carry one. How wrong he was…
He thought that a 20 ton weapon would weigh 20 tons.,
"Unknown until now". Let's stick a pin in that.
As it was, they didn't even have a working reactor by the end of the war. Also, Heisenberg, who was a theoretical physicist rather than a practical one, vastly overestimated the critical mass of U-235, making a nuke way too heavy to go on a rocket or plane.
That's because the Germans had no way to do experiments that would give them the neutron capture cross-section with fast neutrons. Without knowing that, you can't successfully design either a reactor or an atomic bomb.
Explain it to wehraboos...
@@noldo3837 No point. They probably buy the old line that Heisenberg and Pauli knew exactly how to make the bomb, but chose not to. However, if you look at the Marsh Farm transcript, where Heisenberg, Pauli and other German nuke scientists were bugged while under British captivity, you can see their reactions when news of Hiroshima comes on the radio. They're incredulous at first: impossible, we proved it's impossible, etc. But after about an hour, Heisenberg says, "I've been such a fool. Of course! The critical mass..."
It was not due to Heisemberg but to those deciding about the direction of the planning of the project. Besides no report was given of any experiment to show they could handle an atomic explosion . In comparison the availability of the ME262 was by far more important to Germany at that time
@@ioannisimansola7115 None of the "Wunderwaffen" had the capability of themselves to turn the war back in Germany's favor.

General Kammler also had access to a very large Junkers 390 transport jet that was capable of long -distance flight; I'd be willing to bet he loaded up whatever he was working on and flew it to the Americans for asylum, probably first to somewhere in North Africa and then west.
@Sean Embry interesting.
I think he came on a u-boat, specifically U-234 that supposedly came to American shores in early-spring 1945, with a "very high ranking" SS officer on board that brought with him a large amount of Uranium-235 sealed in 24K gold containers, as part of a surrender deal heal made with the U.S. I think it's a mighty big coincidence that we shortly after that time (July-August), had enough Uranium-235 to make at least 3 nuclear bombs, when the head of the facility that produced all of our U-235 at that time, in Oakridge, Tennessee wrote in a letter that we would "possibly" have enough U-235 to make ONE bomb by sometime in November.....🤔
@Sean Embry well Germany to this day do not have have nuclear weapons but they do have weapons grade enriched uranium which is possibly held in Argentina
@Sean Embry Argentina became a huge haven for fleeing Nazis especially the SS where they established entire towns and communities , when especially during the late 1970s and 1980s it was dangerous for western journalists to venture in Argentina
@@logancurl9526 I didn't know that very interesting 🤔🤔
