View Full Version : The Hunt for Hitler’s Scientists



The One

The British, American, and Russian governments were not content to sit idly by, waiting to be slammed by the advanced technology.

Covert teams of commandos and agents were sent ahead of the front lines and deep into Germany, hunting for both the weapons and the scientists and engineers who’d created them.

For British and American operatives, failure was not an option. If they didn’t capture the Nazi technology and scientists, agents of the burgeoning Soviet Union might – and that could spell disaster in a post-war world already feeling the chill of the impending cold war.

Allied agents focused their efforts on three key Nazi technologies: The V-2 Rocket, The Messerschmitt 163 Komet and The Atomic Bomb

project paperclip and the "nazi bell" are words one should key in on when looking into this particular slice of history.

What a terrific video, The One.

I read somewhere that Heisenberg wasn't the head of the real project, only one of them.
Also, when he was in captivity, the rooms he and other scientists had access to were all monitored with microphones.
Under interrogation, they all claimed to know nothing of the critical mass and how to calculate it for the atom bomb.
One day, they were given a newspaper talking about either Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
Upon reading it, Heisenberg then related to the others the EXACT method of making an atom bomb.
It is highly likely that the bombs the allies used were actually German bombs and they were both different bombs.
Google fatman and tallboy.

Ok, I just got almost to the end and they have the part above mentioned in the video, but their claim is not correct, as you would expect.
