Did Hitler had Atomic Bomb?

Answer 1

No. Nazi Germany had a half-hearted program that was hampered by chronic shortages of materials, Allied air strikes, and the shortage of competent scientists caused in large part by the Reich's anti-Semitism. Despite the wishful thinking of certain revisionist pseudo-histoical authors, there is no hard proof that Germany's nuclear weapons program got past the theoretical stage.

Answer 2

Hitler had access to remarkably talented physicists, although it is true that some of the greatest scientific minds were forced to flee the country because of their Judaism.

From 1916 though, the European physics community had been a tight, intellectual brotherhood of international co-thinkers, particularly centred in Germany and Britain.

There's considerable evidence that "Hitler's scientists" did work as slowly as possible to prevent the bomb becoming available to the Nazis.

The US didn't really have much of a nuclear program before the war, but European scientists who'd fled Hitler worked in the US on the Manhattan Project to develop a bomb before the Nazis could.

Those scientists, by the way, were delighted when Hitler was defeated before the bomb had to be used. Hundreds of them signed a petition of protest when they found out the US was going to use it anyway ... against Japanese civilians!

This led them to be accused of "Communism" during the McCarthy period.

Answer 3

The allies thought that they were closer to finishing the bomb than they actually were.Churchill thought the finishing of the bomb was imminent but after finally finding where they were in some production stages of making the bomb ,they found they still had a very long way to go.Sabotage by the British before hand also played a small part but not as much as they thought after they realized they still had only the basics of making the bomb and any previous sabotage would not have mattered too much anyway!

Answer 4

o German didn't arrive to a "Working" Atomic bomb. Some experiment have been made in University of Liepzig , but, as we know, they neither had arrived to a working atomic pile, first step for atomic bomb. This was due to many reasons
a) German Leaders didn't believe much in Atomic energy, as many researcher were Jews.
b) Some German Scientist refused to help this research, or drove it on a wrong way.
c) There were some basic mistakes in German research, like the use of "Heavy water" instead of common Graphite as Neutron slower.
They tried a different way for enriching uranium (for having more U 238 Fissionable) .: there were some sites showing how it worked , up to something more than one year ago.. but then they disappeared...... Fearing someone could use Nazi's way ??

Answer 5

you can always tell those who do research vs guessing.

I dont remember their names but two German Scientists actually were the first to split the atom and discover its potential.


At the end of the war the scientist who would go on to create engines for Apollo and such, said that Hitler had been a month from testing a atom bomb.

Answer 6

Well for us to say that Hitler would have use the bomb we weren't in Hitler's mind at that time so we can really tell you if would have use it along with actually having it.

Answer 7

Negative. The closest they got were the heavy water experiments in Norway, which were sabatouged by the Allies. German scientists intentionally drug their feet in developing the bomb, although they had the theoretical ability or knowledge to produce a nuclear
device.

Answer 8

No, all indication was he was months and likely years from it. Had Hitler had the bomb, the first one would have been on the Russian army and the second on Patton's 3rd Army Corp, and next would have been London. Then an offer of peace.

Answer 9

Ironically, the German a-bomb program was hampered by their policies towards the Jews. Many prominent physicists were European Jews who had to flee the Nazis.

Answer 10

No more Great Britain and Channel train.
