No, due to an arithmetic error by Heisenberg it was decided that atomic bombs would be too large and heavy for any practical bomber to carry. So the German atomic bomb project was scaled back to only develop a prototype reactor during the war, followed by power reactors after Germany won the war.

Due to the loss of their heavy water supply, they never even got a working prototype reactor built.

The following is a text from an enciphered Japanese diplomatic signal sent from Japan's embassy in Stockholm to Tokyo on 12 December 1944.

Read it and then decide for yourself:

"

Part 1

This bomb is revolutionary in its results, and will completely upset all ordinary precepts of warfare hitherto established. I am sending you, in one group, all those reports on what is called the atom-splitting bomb. It is a fact that in June of 1943, the German Army tried out an utterly new type of weapon against the Russians at a location 150 kilometers southeast of Kursk. Although it was the entire 19th Infantry Regiment of the Russians which was thus attacked, only a few bombs (each round up to 5 kilograms) sufficed to utterly wipe them out to the last man.

Part 2.

The following is according to a statement by Lieutenant-Colonel UE [ ISHIWARA ]

KENJI, advisor to the attaché in Hungary and formerly in this country, who by chance saw the actual scene immediately after the above took place:

"All the men and the horses the explosion of the shells were

charred black and even their ammunition had all been detonated."

Moreover, it is a fact that the same type of war material was tried out in the Crimea,

too. At that time the Russians claimed that this was poison-gas, and protested that if

Germany were ever again to use it, Russia, too, would use poison-gas.

Part 3.

There is also the fact that recently in London - in the period between October

and the 15th of November - the loss of life and the damage to business buildings

through fires of unknown origin was great. It is clear, judging especially by the

articles about a new weapon of this type, which have appeared from time to time

recently in British and American magazines - that even our enemy has already begun

to study this type. To generalize on the basis of all these reports: I am convinced that the most important technical advance in the present great war is in the realization of the atom-splitting bomb. Therefore, the central authorities are planning, through research on this type of weapon, to speed up the matter of rendering the weapon practical. And for my part, I

am convinced of the necessity for taking urgent steps to effect this end.

Part 4.

The following are the facts I have learned regarding its technical data:

Recently the British authorities warned their people of the possibility that they might

undergo attacks by German atom-splitting bombs. The American military authorities have likewise warned that the American east coast might be the area chosen for a blind attack by some sort of flying bomb. It was called the German V-3. To be specific, this device is based on the principle of the explosion of the nuclei of the atoms in heavy hydrogen derived from heavy water. (Germany has a large plant in the vicinity of Rjukan, Norway, which has from time to time been bombed by English planes.). Naturally, there have been plenty of examples even before this of successful attempts at smashing individual atoms. However, as far as the demonstration of any practical results is concerned, they seem not to have been able to split large numbers of atoms in a single group. That is, they require for the splitting of each single atom a force that will disintegrate the electron orbit.

Part 5.

as far as the demonstration of any practical results is concerned, they seem not to have been able to split large numbers of atoms in a single group. That is, they require for the splitting of each single atom a force that will disintegrate the electron orbit. On the other hand, the stuff that the Germans are using has, apparently, a very much greater specific gravity than anything heretofore used. In this connection, allusions have been made to SIRIUS and stars of the "White Dwarf" group. (Their specific gravity is 1 thousand, and the weight of one cubic inch is 1 ton.) In general, atoms cannot be compressed into the nuclear density. However, the terrific pressures and extremes of temperature in the "White Dwarfs" cause the bursting of the atoms; and

Part 6.

There are, moreover, radiations from the exterior of these stars composed of what is left of the atoms which are only the nuclei, very small in volume. According to the English newspaper accounts, the German atom- splitting device is the NEUMAN disintegrator. Enormous energy is directed into the central part of the atom and this generates at atomic pressure of several tons of thousands of tons (sic) per square inch. This device can split the relatively unstable atoms of such elements as uranium. Moreover, it brings into being a store of explosive atomic energy. A-GENSHI HAKAI DAN. That is, a bomb deriving its force from the release of atomic energy."

The Nazi Nuclear weapon was developed in 1942 by two German scientists Dr Eric Schumann and Dr Walter Trinks.

How did Nazis transport the Jews?

Nazis transported the Jews by train mostly.


What did the Jews have to give to the Nazis when they first arrived?

Nazis arrived after Jews.


How are Nazis and Jews alike?

Nazis and Jews are not alike in any way. Those people who say or believe that Nazis and Jews are alike are not only wrong, they are intolerant and bigoted. Nazis, the followers of Adolph Hitler, discriminated against Jews, and murdered or tortured many Jews in the Holocaust. Ask any Holocaust survivor, and they will tell you how the Nazis harmed the Jews. They will also tell you that Jews are not Nazis, and are not like the Nazis in any way.


How were a few Nazis able to control thousands of Jews?

They use guns and torture to control the Jews. If the Jews did not cooperate, they were shot and killed, their homes invaded and destroyed. Because the Nazis deprived the Jews of their weapons and protection, they could horde the Jews to concentration camps. The Jews could not fight back because they had no weapons and would be killed before they got their hands on the Nazi soldier. Outposts were set up and it was frequent that the Nazis patrolled the streets of Warsaw and other Jewish areas. The Jews were under Nazi governing and rules that regulated only to Jews. If a non-Jew noticed a Jew was disobeying the Nazi law, like sitting on a non-Jew bench, the Jew will be reported. Punishments include whipping, caning, deprivation of basic needs, or death. (Hanging, gas chamber, knife, gun, etc...) The Jews were afraid of their life. Some were rebellious and were killed by the Nazis or non-Jews. However, the Nazis did hire Jews to assault Jews. These Jewish traitors kept control in small provinces, but did some of the Nazis' dirty work. These Jewish traitors carry clubs and clubbed other Jews if they felt like it, or if the Jew was doing something that went against the Nazi laws.

How would the Jews kill Nazi soldiers in the Holocaust?

Possibly by using improvised, home-made weapons, but very few Nazi soldiers were killed by Jews. Raul Hilberg estimates a total of at most 300 Nazis killed by Jews.
