Missing Nazi Uranium #ww2 #nazi #shorts

[Ballinalower]

I remember a Jewish scientist refugee from nazi Germany saying that if Hitler hadn't been antisemitic Jewish German scientists would have perfected the bomb for him by 1943.

[papasquat]

Where do you think our scientists came from, Einstein?

[anuszharmat]

Allies: and you will be executed
Nazi war criminal: hey i can build rockets
Allies: well in that case...

The west really likes to deny that the nazis were close to atomic energy. The Nazis had an entire plant dedicated to making deuterium, aka heavy water, which is a crucial step nuclear fission.
Off topic, but when i was reading about the commandos that blew up the deuterium plant, they had came across fellow countrymen that were being forced to work there. The timers on the bombs preset, they told the workers where to go to be furthest from the blast. This is the part i will never forget. They told the workers to lie face down and to open up their mouths as wide as they can. Opening the mouth wide protects the eardrums. I had never once heard that and thought it was fascinating.

They were nowhere close to making atomic weapons

[Nuka-_-]

This must be where marvel came up with the whatever the hell it's called cube with red skull and shi

[cenyoorsunt]

Could you hide a uranium cube in gold? Stay with me.
Gold has anti rad properties and the weight wouldn't be that much different.

[iancarnaby]

They were miles off, they thought they need way to much uranium

"The Nartsy Government..."
😆😂🤣

The Germans had not even proved the concept of fission, something Enrico Fermi did in 1942. Bottom line, they were a minimum 3 years behind the U.S. Given the incredible cost and effort that they U.S. put into it, which Germany didn't have during the war, there was no way they we remotely close.

[steverstewart]

The Japanese were much closer, as they actually exploded a nuclear device in Korea, right before the Soviets got into the war

[jacoblind]

They were no where close. Even if they had dedicated the resources to it the US did they would still have been nearly a decade away.

Okay but are you also forgetting, he had nearly no supplies to mass produce such a weapon or even make it?

[tede]

It was Never Hard Water, that's an Ice Fishing term...
It was Heavy Water..

[webber]

Why am I not surprised that USA had some involvement in this

[Bane]

The uranium was never missing. It, in gold cylinders, along with Martin Boreman, was sent to the U.S. Tge material was used in Fatman by us against Japan.

[Hummmminify]

Never heard of this….all these uranium cubes.

[michaelathens]

They had two teams working on the project and neither had enough uranium to make a functioning reactor. Their own policy of internal competition worked against them.

[konradinkappler]

Yeah, and the flying saucers in Antarctica !

[memesurrectionist]

And how did that work out? Now we have the Illuminati
