How Close Did Hitler Come To Nuclear Weapons? | Secrets Of The Third Reich | Timeline 

For the life of me, I can't figure out what makes these documentaries so soothing, but I'm usually out within 15-20 minutes. Maybe it's like being read to at night by your mom or dad.

I did.

Fr, I use one of these every night to put me down lol

Go back to English class bro. It’s “A spectacular” not “an spectacular”

There’s more top secret stuff that we don’t know about

@@Thetruthyave How do you know?

The Germans had over 1,000 tons of uranium that they took from Belgium when they invaded. The largest uranium mine with the highest quality ore was the Shinkolobwe mine in the Belgian Congo. The Belgians controlled the mine and used it mainly as a source of radium. The Germans also had access to uranium in the Jachymov mine as you've indicated. The Germans forced war prisoners to work in the Jachymov mine. When the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia and unpacked their communist government, they took over the mine and it became the source of the uranium for their atomic program.

No, they didn't know "how to split the atom," what they knew about was fission. The idea of a chain reaction was proposed by Leo Szilard.

They didn’t have all the information. They knew about heavy water and generally how to build one, they didn’t know all the specifics to make it work. They were close in that they had most of the pieces for a bomb just didn’t know all the technical aspects.

Same game just different players..

Only if u haven't read some books. Germany had no hope of having a nuke in Time

@@merkcityboy834wrong. Same game, different players and devastating weapons now.

This is pure propaganda and conspiracy theory from beginning to end.

This is not history. This is speculative pseudo-history gleaned from an interpretation of some of available evidence, most of which is not evidence but wishfull thinking.

The most deadliest and most fascinating war in the 20th century.

A real good one is the greatest story never told

Superfluous apostrophes get my goat

They did have their resistance groups who fought the Quisling puppet regime.

The Nazism still did the bomb just from another land mass, to hide ( new identities, officials Argentina ) the scientists Oppenheimer (1 of them)

@@helenfairhall6440 To Perdition with Google translator

That is a great story...how the Brits sent in teams of commandos to destroy the heavy water plant...itvwas fictiolized the the movie "The Heroes of Telemark"

Einstein doesn't matter. He never worked on the atomic bomb. In fact, fission had to be explained to him in July of 1939 by Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner because he didn't keep up with current physics advancements as he dedicated his time attempting to develop a unified field theory.

It's highly unlikely to improbable that the Nazis were able to isolate weapons grade U235 from uranium ore. It took the Tennessee valley authority hydro electric system, gold and silver to use a efficient electric conductors to isolate enough U235!! The Nazis didn't have this ability. I very much doubt that 140 pounds of weapons grade U235 was recovered from Germany!

Invention is the necessity of mother.

The Nazis were first in the world with tactical nuclear bombs! And even went as far as starting a series production of them, they were used on the Kursk front, tested oustide the island of Rugen, several high ranking witnesses saw the explosions...

@@MaciusSzwed You are absolutely right! 👍 I found a lot of evidence to support this claim.

No they were not somewhere close they were not somewhere close.

@@peckerwood780 Keep believing the lies! Ignorance is a BLISS:)

@@patrichausammann Same here. You are right. They even found increased radioactivity at the test sites in Turingia.

The reactor contained 45,000 ultra-pure graphite blocks weighing 360 short tons (330 tonnes), and was fueled by 5.4 short tons (4.9 tonnes) of uranium metal and 45 short tons (41 tonnes) of uranium oxide. Unlike most subsequent nuclear reactors, it had no radiation shielding or cooling system as it operated at very low power - about one-half watt.

what are you doing here ? go make a video on how disappointing s-PAIN was for Ferrari and Leclerc :(

@@khaleelibr96 actually writing some world war 2 motor sport stories haha I’m technically working

@@CYMotorsport looking forward to it , keep up the good work

@B87 Beveiliging the USA also now have a vegetable in charge more reason to be worried

@@khaleelibr96 what it comes down to (and why the russians could develop a nuclear bomb so quickly) is that simple nuclear bombs cannot be scaled and rely on indepth knowledge of critical mass (which the russians obtained via spies), density, pressure characteristics etc. even getting the fissile material just isnt really enough. The americans developed these things through painstaking research with many casualties along the way. Being very close means you are still very far away. in theory after first year uni student can design a bomb but without knowledge of scale and quanities required its impossible.

Actually, quite a bit is known about it. They lacked a source of uranium but they had most of the physics correct. The United States Strategic Bomb Survey documented all of that at the end of WW 2.

It was called the Riken Effort. But the Japanese had only about 100 people working on it......nothing compared to Project Manhattan.

I just watched a documentary on recovering the barrels that sank with the ferry

It was a complete waste of civilian lives.

Who is "he" ?

Can I ask you for a laypersons explanation of fissile material?

@@ObiAmajoyiSrMD Fissile material is an element that produces excess neutrons when it is split by a neutron. With uranium 235, one neutron is used to split the atom and it releases either two or three neutrons. The average is 2.3 neutrons. Plutonium emits an average of 2.91 neutrons when it is split (more fission events produce three neutrons than two neutrons). When the atom releases neutrons, the excess neutrons cause another atom to split causing it to emit neutrons, and the process cascades causing a chain reaction.

@@buckhorncortez great explanation. Thank you man

@@buckhorncortez Also, why does the chain reaction of neutrons being created create an explosion, and such a powerful one at that?

They had plenty of spare industrial capacity and they were awash in cash. What everybody misses about the WWII German nuclear weapons program was that it was primarily (though not entirely) under SS control. Do you have any idea how much captured war booty was liquidated by the SS, and how many slave laborers that organization used in its secret weapons projects? The answer is: billions of dollars, in present day terms, and millions of slave laborers. Further, the Germans, unlike the Manhattan Project, DID successfully design and build the ultracentrifuge, which was orders of magnitude more efficient at uranium separation - enrichment than the workable but huge and ponderous American version at Oak Ridge, TN. Still further, most of their nuclear weapons concepts involved utilizing fusion in synergy with fission, which not only greatly boosted the blast yield of any completed devices but also required significantly less fissile material.

Hail!

Facts if you believe everything you are being told about WW2 pre,mid,end from your history books ,you truely don’t understand the art of war

He didnt

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN it was a joke

And the music sounds like it's from the dark knight trilogy

During the cold war we had ridiculously sized bombs but they've gotten smaller since. A single missile carries many warheads and most are around 750kt. Not even a megaton.

And there has only been one country that could have avoided being bombed with nuclear weapons if they had accepted the Potsdam Declaration sent to them on July 26, 1945, or at least agreed to use it as the basis of negotiations for ending the war. Never forget that they chose to sacrifice their own citizens rather than end the war.

They always make a second exit

In a searching for Big Foot kind of way...a lot of speculation and few real facts.

@@bobbowie5334 Germany has been reunited since mid 90s at least

cuz they wanna bury their past, a really wack way of going about it. Largely cuz of Merkel. Maybe Olaf Scholz will.

There is also the multi generational sense of national guilt to consider.Modern day Germany,does not want to do anything,that brings up any suspicion of them doing anything with the foul,odious stench of Nazism.

Thanks for that. I watched him last year abroad and could not find him until now with your help.

Meh

Yeah watching Tino all the time. Its funny now to see so called historians debunk the German physicists, yet most of em went to Russia and the west, helped them with their nuclear projects and even got USA and Russians into space. So that being said. They probably did make nuclear reactors for fuel or set detonation off to see the outcomes. Helped by Hans kammler, via organisation group Todt, payed by seimens, ADG, the German postal service etc, well funded, used slave labour. Truth willout

So that's why it sounds like the music is from the dark knight trilogy

No, they weren't. After talking with Heisenberg about how long it would take to create a bomb, Speer dropped nearly all funding for nuclear research. The funding available didn't even fund Heisenberg's program adequately. The Germans had no knowledge of building uranium separation and enrichment facilities and had no knowledge of plutonium production and chemistry. So, the Germans were not "alot (sic) close (sic) getting a nuclear bomb..." The Germans had ZERO knowledge of atomic cross-sections of uranium and plutonium and the interaction with fast neutrons. Without that - you can't even begin to design an atomic bomb.

Sound so stupid even if they were were so close they weren't cuz it never happened USA was first. So there u go either u got it or u don't there is no such thing as close

Indeed paradoxically collapsing when they did shortly before the first atom bomb was ready saved Germany from a Hiroshima and Nagasaki experience

Maybe. At some point he would of still ran into supply issues. And he still had Canada to deal with if they landed in America. And Mexico. And they never would of been able to keep up with losses in Europe, America and Africa. A land attack in America would be the end for anyone. They never really fought Africa. They just hung out there. Really, anyone who thinks they can take the world is pretty stupid. But if he got the atomic bomb first... game over.

No matter what country rises up. The greatest nation on earth "USA" and those who stand for democracy will always be there to grind these people to dust.

Israel is in charge so of course youre only gonna hear that side of the story

"Ve aim for ze stars, but sometimes vee hit London". :-}

Luckily, a ton of time, energy, and resources went into space exploration and advanced technology. Although, I think weapons research has had a new resurgence in the last decade, unfortunately. Imagine if we stayed focused on space with every metric of spare resources after the moon landing, instead of going to mars, we might've been gearing up to send a generational ship to Andromeda.

@@TheDJOblivion yeah definitely agree- it comes down to goal- do you want a tool for a species or a weapon. We can use the energy we can master to get off our planet and become truly a cosmic species or we can use it to kill each other. As a type 0 civilization, we should be a lot more judicial with our use of energy we can derive from this planet.

@@TheDJOblivionyeah no, space exploration and nuclear physics are more closely related than you think, it’s not a research or money problem, it’s a material problem. We just don’t have the resources yet to do something like that, also you need to go light speed to actually traverse the cosmos unless something like a gravity drive we’re made but we don’t know if that’s possible or what it could theoretically create or destroy

@@bobbythomas6520 i don't believe I said anything counter to the points you just made, if the US alone spent the entire defense budget on space exploration over the last 65 years we most certainly could've built and launched a generational starship to Andromeda, even though it would take so long we'd probably pass it with whatever type of star drive we end up developing.

It doesn't matter. They had no fissile material, no way to make fissile material didn't understand the chemistry involved, etc. They were never close to an atomic bomb.

8,690 kilometers or about 5,400 miles...

brilliant documentary, i must say, lots of places to visit in Germany, if any of them are even open to the public

Even if they had made the bombs and successfully tested them it was already too late. They could have inflicted serious damage but the allies would have still moved on Berlin.

Young girls slips

Guess I won't watch this documentary after all

According to you ahahah

no doubt they tried, their infrastructure was probably just too far gone by that point to be effective enough to put it in the field

@@motiv311 If that was the case, why did they do two tests? A two point ignition "swan type device" only requires something on the order of 250 grams of fissile materials. Yet the Reich sent a lot of such material to Japan at the end of the war

Fantasist, they were absolutely nowhere in nuclear weapons development, they were nowhere even close to making a critical reactor! Would they buy the ready materials from America?

Never deployed because they didnt have viable weapons.This whole doc plays out like a Hollywood horror movie. WIth Zombie SOldiers.

Wars have been happening as long as there have been humans to fight each other. Why would war have stopped after WW2? As far as we know there has always been at least one war happening somewhere on earth at any given time. World peace is a nice idea and surely something we should always strive towards but will never actually be achieved for any meaningful length of time.

COVID is a war is just a different kind of war. They can only use proxy wars now, nukes have made wars like WW2 obsolete so they have to figure out another way. They want war and always have. We have had for the most part horrible globalists presidents with a couple exceptions. JFK was killed in part because he went rouge.

@@unkledoda420 yes there have always been a war going , but huge wars stopped after WW2 , no major powers engaged directly in war with each other. now if we never reached nuclear destruction , would we still have major wars? (Ukraine and Russia), (Arab -Israel), (US in Vietnam) are not huge wars.

@@khaleelibr96 same questions asked about WOMD when David took Goliath out.... Cain and Abel weren't the first.

Pax atomica. We live in this most peaceful time _because_ of the bomb.

True The Manhattan Project need super large town size complexes like Oak Ridge .Hanford and Y-12 employing 120,000 but the Germans made one in a small cave dugout somewhere.

I think that it more likely was a prototype of an air-fuel bomb. Those things can get really big and powerful.

and with half-starved, recalcitrant slave laborers!

There are college kids who have the technology to build one the size of a small suitcase. The fissile material can be bought internationally if you have enough money. They are low grade bombs but still very dangerous.

@@terryrose6208 The Germans couldn't exactly buy the stuff like that then.

I'd rather read books by people who have spent 10x the amount of time researching a subject than Felton does. A lot of his work contains misinformation.

@Sean Embry interesting.

I think he came on a u-boat, specifically U-234 that supposedly came to American shores in early-spring 1945, with a "very high ranking" SS officer on board that brought with him a large amount of Uranium-235 sealed in 24K gold containers, as part of a surrender deal heal made with the U.S. I think it's a mighty big coincidence that we shortly after that time (July-August), had enough Uranium-235 to make at least 3 nuclear bombs, when the head of the facility that produced all of our U-235 at that time, in Oakridge, Tennessee wrote in a letter that we would "possibly" have enough U-235 to make ONE bomb by sometime in November.....🤔

@Sean Embry well Germany to this day do not have have nuclear weapons but they do have weapons grade enriched uranium which is possibly held in Argentina

@Sean Embry Argentina became a huge haven for fleeing Nazis especially the SS where they established entire towns and communities , when especially during the late 1970s and 1980s it was dangerous for western journalists to venture in Argentina
