      @stuart_w64 If you would read and understand my post, you would see I am not opposed to narratives being changed and overturned.

      @stuart_w64 As is the distinction between a modest reactor program (which the Germans definitely had) and a bomb production program.

      @stuart_w64 You would still need a much more advanced reactor program than there is any evidence for. No evidence they achieved criticality.

          @stuart_w64 Just another entry into the "bad journalism" file. Daily Mail is not reliable even for quotations on this.
