If it existed at all in any form it would have absolutely been used and the argument is only would he have dropped it on us or the Russians.

If Hitler could have stuffed an atom bomb into a V2 rocket, it probably would have been fired at London.

If he could have loaded one onto a boxcar he would have been willing to detonate it in the center of Berlin as the Russians closed in on him. After all there were no innocent Germans anymore, only Germans that failed to live up to their divine calling.

It’s Oak Ridge, Tennessee..... NOT Kentucky.

In this I agree with the dems- Russians, Russians, Russians.... Hitler would have used something that killing on the Russians. Straight up to Moscow. Then threatened London.

Actually America Atom Bombing Japan was a huge shock. Nobody really thought we would do it.

Took me a while to find, but here’s a good article on what became of some of the uranium in Germany’s failed nuclear program

Hmmm. Shortly after proving the weapon worked, Germany was producing over 500 V2s each month despite an aggressive allied air effort to disrupt them. How many were used to hit places other than England?

You and he might find this funny... 20 years ago in college, I haunted the website occasionally, though casually since my only connection is tangential via the F-106 and B-52 communities.
