A top secret program to build an atomic bomb during World War 2?

The top secret program to build an atomic bomb was called the Manhattan Project. It was so secret the top Generals and Admirals did not know about it. The people who worked on the project often did not know what they were working on. All the workers lived in places that were developed from the ground up and they could not talk about what they were doing. Even Vice President Truman did not know about it until after President Roosevelt died.


Who are scientific leaders of world war 2?

There were thousands of them worldwide. In the US we had Einstein (consulting) and Szilard (consulting) and Frank Oppenheimer to lead the Manhattan project. There was the Army Corp of Engineers too. General Leslie Groves led the entire Manhattan Project for the Army. I can't remember the names of the German scientists other than Wernher von Braun and Walter Dornberger who were responsible for developing the V2 Rockets that bombed London. Von Braun eventually became the head of NASA in the USA. I don't know the names of the Japanese scientist who were working on their atomic bomb.
