@@dmbeaster What is even more interesting here is that Werner Heisenberg never even bothered to work out the math of Frisch-Peierls until *after* he learned of the Hiroshima bomb.
@@rockets4kids Of course, he never saw nor knew about the Frisch-Peierls work. He did correctly predict in early 1942 to the Nazi bureaucrats that it would take a long time, cost a fortune, and success was uncertain regarding development of a bomb. They then opted not to bother except to fund basic research on nuclear energy.
Indeed, the letter was written in advance and they just wanted Einstein to sign it since his name (at the time) held more weight to it and of course it was a pressing issue and they needed them to take notice right away.
Security was so bad the US Army hired a current serving NKGB (Russian foreign intelligence officer (not an agent, an actual Russian trained officer)) as Radiation Safety Officer on the Manhattan Project (he was shifted from working on Radar systems by the army)… Stalin and Beria were better technically briefed than anyone outside the actual Manhattan Project (and most of the people IN it).
The US ordered Heisenberg to be assassinated, the assassin would be the baseball player and OSS agent Moe Berg, Moe did not kill Heisenberg, but he was still decorated, the reason is that he brought to the US invaluable information, which was that Heisenberg had already calculated the critical mass of Uranium, so it was just a matter of time before humanity's first nuclear test was carried out....which was on October 12, 1944 on the Island of Rügen. The US was a year behind in its nuclear plan with respect to the German nuclear plan. After making this calculation, Heisenberg hands it over to Kurt Diebner, who will develop the Zentner 76 bomb. It no longer made sense to kill Heisenberg.
total nonsense. There was never any German bomb. Moe did not assassinate Heisenberg because it was clear that they were making zero progress on a bomb.
"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."-Julius Robert Oppenheimer Father of the atomic bomb
Fuchs did not provide a "turnkey manual" of an atomic bomb. What he did provide was a general guide which was crucial for a different reason. The Soviets had to figure out the details, but they knew that the plan would work once they figured it out. They did not have to lose time on blind alleys.
Finding 12,000 tons of uranium ore was of little value. Uranium is pretty common. Ore was rare as of 1945 because nobody had been mining it (it was a useless byproduct of radium mining), so people had a false sense as to its alleged importance. That rapidly changed.
So the Germans would have been so ruthless to use that bomb. The US would only use it for self defense. Really? - And could it be that the Germans were actually far more advanced and Heisenberg and his reactor was a decoy? - Just asking.

Quickly, Officer Albert Francis Birch will paint on the hull of the German Zentner 76 some letters: "L II" which passed the electrical test and will be loaded on the Enola Gay, please look for the photo of the bomb load and you will notice that it says "LII" and a piece of cloth has been placed over these letters..... Then if you look for Oppenheimer's biography, in 1947 a journalist who knew what had happened on the island of Tinian asks Oppenheimer directly: Why didn't they test Little Boy before? Oppenheimer answers: there was no need, the Germans had already tested it, a big mess was created and the conference was suspended. Curious that in some versions of Wikipedia this does not appear in the "Los Alamos" section... Oppenheimer was a person of great intellectual honesty and knew that one day the truth would be known, that is why he named his test Trinity.... because it was the third atomic test carried out by humanity, the first was on the Island of Rügen on October 12, 1944, the second at the SS arsenal in Thuringia in February 1945, the main witness of the first test was Luigi Romersa, an Italian, personal friend of von Braun and sent by Mussolini to witness the test, Luigi would write articles for NATO after the war, in 1982 he describes the first atomic test carried out by humanity on the Island of Rügen, the article can be found in the Revista Militar Defensa of 1982, the magazine is published in several languages. The model of atomic bomb used in this test was what would later be called "Göring's pineapple". You can find the details in the book "Hitlers Bomber" by the author Dr. Rainer Karlsch from 2006. The second test of a Zentner 76 was in Thuringia and slave workers were used in the test (600 prisoners were killed) the test was larger than expected so the radiation affected the inhabitants of the surrounding areas. The site of the explosion is northwest of the Jonastal III complex. This is the bomb that in the West will later be called Little Boy, it is made of enriched uranium and had a charge of 60-66 kg of that material.

Look for the bomb load on the Enola Gay and you will notice that it says LII painted with a brush. I am very sorry that in many countries the truth has not been told about this moment in history...in fact the bomb that failed the electrical test was made with German enriched uranium, taken to the US by U-boat 234...the content of which was paid for by Japan in metallic gold and was never delivered.

Einstein did NOT write that letter; Szilard did. Szilard convinced Einstein to sign it, which Einstein did only begrudgingly.
That letter appears in every documentary, but it was the Frisch-Peierls memorandum which actually drove development of the bomb.

It was rather the American bomb which was produced with uranium from the Congo.
Most of it was from there, but a significant amount also from old radium mines in Canada
