Imagine how different the war would have turned out if the Nazis recruited Einstein, instead of trying to send him to a concentration camp, forcing him to flee Germany and travel to New Jersey.
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.
What’s amazing is a small group received the accelerated course of military training and pulled it off. It just shows if the cause is greater than yourself you can do anything.

Why can't europeans be more like americans and aknowlegde their black populations?! We americans got some problems with racism, but at least we don't pretend like black people don't exist. Europe is so racist.
Leif Tronstad did not participate in the mission. He gathered old friends and allies from the war which he could trust. All Norwegians. Also it's a slap to Norwegian history by putting blacks in this...
The Japanese were also working on Nuclear bombs. But the Imperial Navy and the Imperial Army were working separately, one was based in Korea, as they hated each other and would not cooperate on anything. If they had combined their efforts they might have made more progress
The Nazis, realizing they were finished, sent heavy water via submarine to Japan. They hoped Japan could make it work and win the war. But the sub was intercepted by the Allies. Japan didn't get the heavy water.
The Japanese attempt to build an atomic bomb was called "The Riken Effort". But the Japanese had only about 100 people working on that project, with very limited resources. It amounted to even much less than the Nazi's project.
Imperium シ it means that the us has no realization for its own actions. The only president to acknowledge the tragedy of Nagasaki and Hiroshima was Obama, it took 70 years... that's just disgusting.
@@liandrysanguishinshin7955 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.

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...

@@oddfungus9281 weird I’m watching this video 15 minutes from Detroit where they built the bomber that was used on Hiroshima. If I didn’t know any better I would have thought that Detroit was bombed instead
@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.
The sabotage of the facility in Norway and the development of the german atomic bomb are actually a series, its a norwegian production called "Kampen om tungtvannet" ("The heavy water war" in USA and "Saboteurs" in England i believe)
There are two reports of witnessing a post atomic bomb mushroom like cloud in Ludwigslust in 1944. Germany worked on a tactical nuclear bomb that could have been installed in the V2 rockets.
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!"
How did you make this video and not include the part about the Ferry sabotage. They sank a civilian ferry containing heavy water barrels below deck. That was one of the most interesting parts of the whole series of events.
One thing wrong with the video: It implies that the US had a working bomb during the war with Germany but in reality they completed the bomb 2 months after the war ended.

Heisenberg’s weapon of mass destruction
They had no delivery system,rumour suggests smaller yeild bombs were used on Soviet territory, kind of makes sense considering casualties.
Your leaving out more relevant farm hall information.

The problem was when they were looking for Heisenberg the more they knew about his location the less they knew about his velocity.
