Nazi Spies Called It A Joke... Until The Manhattan Project Ended The War
In September 1943, German intelligence received shocking reports about Allied atomic research. Major Ernst Weber warned his superiors that American scientists were developing a uranium bomb of unimaginable power. The Nazi officers laughed. Werner Heisenberg, Germany's top physicist, had declared atomic weapons "impossible." They dismissed it as Jewish fantasy and marked the report "low priority."
Meanwhile, in the New Mexico desert, a secret city was rising. Los Alamos. Code name: Site Y. Address: PO Box 1663. J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the greatest scientific minds ever assembled—refugees from Nazi Europe, American physicists, and engineers racing against time to achieve the impossible.
On July 16, 1945, the Trinity test proved them all wrong. The desert became the sun. Then came Hiroshima. Then Nagasaki. The weapon Nazi intelligence mocked as impossible ended World War II in two blinding flashes.
This is the true story of history's deadliest miscalculation.
