    You're forgetting the Farm Hall documents. In them, Werner Heisenberg seems enthusiastic to build the atomic bomb for Germany, but clearly doesn't know how to build one. The documents show that he's stunned when he learns the U. S. has dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima. Then, in a conversation with his fellow physicist, Otto Hahn, the Farm Hill documents show Heisenberg perfectly explaining how to build an atomic bomb...the actual way, with actual technical details that absolutely proved this guy knew exactly how to build an atom bomb. The Nazis would have had atom bombs years before Hiroshima. Heisenberg was deliberately providing the Nazis with inaccurate research and development. Even without his confession to Neils Bohr, we have absolute proof that Heisenberg prevented the Nazis from getting the atom bomb by just not giving it to them. A week later, he gave a seminar to scientists on numerous nuclear principles they hadn't heard before. It was obvious this wasn't new. It was too detailed. He just didn't tell them. After the war, Heisenberg said there were also practical reasons the Nazis didn't get the bomb. Even if he'd given them the bomb, the Nazi's couldn't have effectively used it because they didn't have the industrial infrastructure and couldn't hope to match the Manhattan Project. He also said he wasn't the only one withholding research. Most scientists on the project were actively avoiding working on the bomb. At the time nobody believed him, but over time, as it became clear that he knew exactly how to build the atom bomb, especially with the Farm Hall documents, he was undeniably telling the truth.

      Necessary evils. Invading Japan would be more destructive than the Atomic Bombs could ever be, since the entire population was hyped up on propaganda to "resist the invader" and fight to their deaths.
      The opening landing was calculated to suffer over 1 million casualties on both sides alone. Keep in mind that's just *landing on the beaches.* It would be even worse pushing into the country.
      So, obliterating two cities to end the war was seen as preferable. For both sides.

    Heisenberg was the finest theoretical physicist left in Germany, and discovered the principle of indetermination.
    At the end of the conflict, the Allied were extremely surprised that what the Germans built, and called a reactor, didn't even had the moderator rods in it (cadmium bars to slow down fast neutrons); basically the German atomic scientists were toying with uranium, and they couldn't have achieved anything - both for civilian and military use...

      Yes, but the allies didn't know that at the time. Which is why the mission was crucial

      @Lucius Murrius the Competent 🏴‍☠️ Bruh, the US were working on nukes before Germany even lost. Also, Germany's nuclear bomb research wasn't even close to the US. The invention of the atomic bomb is an American feat, but I can tell that you won't accept that info.

    I really don't like how these videos hype how close the Nazis were to an atomic bomb. They weren't nor was building an a-bomb a high priority. There are a lot of reasons for that which would involve a lot more information that I don't want to go into here, but basically the Germans figured that it would cost too much, take too long, and cost too many resources....and frankly for Germany they were right. The project was severely deemphasized after early 1942 in favor of other projects with a more immediate impact.

    "Warriors soul...
    They signed the book of history.
    They played a leading role...
    To win the second war.
    Allied time was running short.
    They would race against the bomb.
    As hours turned to days, time passed on.
    As the nature test their strength...
    They would fight through night and day.
    To live amongst the wild,
    Stay alive.
    Called into serve.
    And they knew what to do.
    They were the heroes of the cold!
    Warriors soul!"
