I know I am late: Just saw Valkyrie

[John Sukey (Deceased)]

No point in watching the movie, I already knew the plot and the ending

Hollywood is certainly running out of ideas. Either that or someone discovered this storeroom with a load of neat uniforms they hadn't used for a while.

Not to mention I really don't like Tom Cruise and his whacky religion.

Hi Bob,

the rest of heavy water they brought from norway to germany was found in a former mine near the Bodensee in southern bavaria. The german engineers had a lab there. A physicist said there was only around 700 litres to few to build the bomb. So the norwegian agent did a good job. Nice to have contact to an also in history interested person.

Best regards,

Gunner

Thanks for that information! I'd heard all kinds of stories about it - that they we nowhere near, that they were right on the edge being able to proceed. The best I had been able to put together was that the Norwegian ferry raid was what saved us from having to deal with a nuclear equipped Nazi government. You've confirmed that. Thanks again.

Amen to everything said by John!!
The Japs were also working towards a nuclear bomb. I remember seeing a picture of a cyclotron being dumped into Tokyo bay in 1945. I wonder if they would be apologizing to US now had their side won????? (woops, thats another thread)
