Re: Hitler had the Atom Bomb
Hi Roddoss72,
if you read my post above about Heisenberg at Farm Hall, he may have been hamming it up that the critical mass was half a tonne. Deibner, it is certain knew the real critical mass was nearer 20kg in 1945. In practice, with all the safety cladding a workable Uranium A-bomb in 1945 would have weighed 4,500kg which was within the ability of a Ju-390 to deliver over New York from the Gardomen airbase near Oslo and return. Had Germany used the A-bomb against new York I suspect the Allied A-bomb would have been used on Berlin, but that may have also delayed the use of an allied bomb against Japan and given the Japanese time to use their A-bomb too.
