Also German rocket-builders . . . i think as much praise should be given them as should designers of atomic (or any other) weapons of mass-destruction. Well done. Way to apply math in order to more easily kill your fellow man.
Well, actually, the Manhattan project did not employ that many germans. Sure, germans did a lot of the theory before that, and the the first fission was done by a group in germany, but that is not the actual bomb.
I know that Fermi (italian), Feynman (the greatest physicist of the last century IMHO, and US american), Oppenheimer (US) worked there.
If you believe the german scientist working on the uranium porject, then they were looking for a nuclear power plant more than a bomb (and got funding for the first and not for the latter)
