Nazi nuclear programme was further from a bomb than Heisenberg believed
Original: Nazis and the bomb: nuclear archaeology finds Werner Heisenberg mistook how close he was
New research in nuclear archaeology indicates that Werner Heisenberg, who led Germany's wartime atomic programme, misunderstood how close Nazi Germany came to building a nuclear weapon. The findings suggest the German effort was further from success than Heisenberg himself realised, renewing debate among historians about the scientific and political choices made inside the wartime Reich.
Why now: New historical research on the Nazi atomic programme is drawing attention to long-standing questions about Heisenberg's role and knowledge.
