        While this was a daring and patriotic act, Germany could never have developed the bomb regardless of how much heavy water they had. They lacked any capacity to produce U-235 or plutonium in sufficient amounts for a fission bomb like those the US dropped.

        RIP Joachim Ronneberg The premise of Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle is that Germany developed atomic bomb first, nuked Washington, and an occupied US was divided between Germany and Japan.

        Imagine what would have happened if this great man didn't dash the Nazi ambition for nuclear power... It saved the lives of mankind as we know it today. May you always be remembered.
