I think the Nazis had a problem in some of their early calculations that resulted in them needing a poo poo more fuel for the bomb than actually needed. Milhist and Aviation/Cold War threads sometimes post the transcripts of captured Nazi scientists discussing the news of nukes being dropped.

That Reputation song is horrible. It's like she's become less mature over the years. Going back to weepy teenage stuff would be an improvement after that.

charlie kirk jumping in like clockwork like an hour after his weekly scheduled "there are 2 genders" tweet was too loving funny especially his parting shot of "taylor swift is a failure" on the heels of her current gangbusters tour while kanye is jumping on desks at universities like a sociopath.

idk how much of an effect she'll really have on anything but hey she has more twitter and instagram followers than God so maybe the optics will pay off.

I hadn't seen that particular document, thanks for sharing.

That said, it confirms what I had read elsewhere, that the Nazis hadn't made a serious effort to get the bomb, because they considered it impossible given their resources. The incorrect calculation about how much material was necessary to produce was a huge issue, but even if they had it right, they understood it was functionally beyond their ability.

Heisenberg's claims of sabotage are bullshit, at least with regards to him seeing his or another team working towards a bomb and sabotaging it out of some ethical concern. He absolutely did "sabotage" other researchers, but only in so far as he did everything in his power to get resources for his research and if that meant undermining another team, that was part for the course in Nazi Germany, not just in his area.

That said, even if Heisenberg wanted to produce a bomb, there's no way that Nazi Germany could free up the kind of resources necessary to actually make that a reality.

The overall cost of the Manhattan Project was something on the order of $2 billion (in 1945 dollars), spread over several years, of course. Germany's GDP between 1938 and 1944 was $2.8 billion combined, and the theoretical side was by far the least expensive part. The true cost was the work of building factories to produce the uranium and plutonium.

The idea was basically land battleship. In the imagining, it could literally go anywhere and by virtue of it's impossibly thick armor, the Allied tanks and artillery would not be able to stop it, meanwhile it would be lobbing literal battleship shells at anything with a twenty mile radius.

Even if they overcame every engineering obstacle and built it exactly as envisioned (lol), there's no reason to believe it would have fared any better than the Repulse and the Prince of Wales.

i feel like the weight and fuel consumption would make it pointless. unless the thing has an arms factory inside it, it would also have ammo problems.

Yeah, it's one of those ideas that is so terrible that it almost begs belief that it was given serious consideration.

Can we build it as designed? No.
If we could build it as designed, would we be able to keep it from breaking down before getting it into combat? No.
If we could keep it in combat without breaking down, would it be effective? No.
If we could make it effective in combat, could we prevent it from being destroyed immediately by enemy aircraft? No.
Can we add enough anti-aircraft armament to allow it to adequately defend itself? No.

It's almost breathtaking in it's incompetence.

it's a miracle that Greg Miller is the only man so far to escape the curse of the Trending Gamer award, as the other 3 either died, hosed up their marriages, or became social media pariahs.
