Now it can be told!

Nazi's Tested Nuclear Bomb in Final Days of the War!

No, this not a stolen script for the next Indiana Jones movie or story from the National Inquirer. No nothing that interesting I'm afraid. Some economist (for heaven's sake!) has been puttering around an old ex-East German/Soviet Army site in the former East Germany with a geiger counter and has concluded based upon next to no evidence that the Nazi's exploded a small sized nuke just months before the war ended. So, impossibly unlikely as all this is, it is kinda of interesting to speculate on. And good enough for this blog too.

"Hitler's Bomb theorizes that the March 1945 device didn't achieve fission, but did scatter telltale radioactive particles at the Ohrdruf test site. It also claims that Nazi Germany briefly had a working nuclear reactor, something historians generally dispute.

Author Rainer Karlsch, an economic historian, offers no first-hand proof, saying his account is an interpretation of available evidence and he hopes it will spur more research.

He said soil samples from the Ohrdruf site he had analyzed for his book turned up above-average levels of radioactive isotopes such as cesium 137 and cobalt 60, though he quotes the testers as saying the site poses no radiation hazard.

However, access to what he believes was ground zero was barred because of old munitions at the site, which served as a Soviet military training area in East Germany after the war.

A U.S. mission that arrived in Germany with American troops in 1945 to investigate the German atomic bomb program concluded that the Germans were nowhere near making a nuclear weapon.

Karlsch doesn't claim they were near. But based on witness accounts recorded after the war, postwar Allied aerial photos and Soviet military intelligence reports, he argues that a test blast happened March 3, 1945, at Ohrdruf — then being run as a Nazi concentration camp. He says there probably were several previous tests.

"Hitler's bomb — a tactical nuclear weapon with a potential for destruction far below that of the two American atomic bombs — was tested successfully several times shortly before the end of the war," the book says."
