Speaking of A-10 and V-4 type technology,
Several years ago there was a Freerepublic post on the WWII German nuclear weapons program. Made a lot of sense to me, a totally different technology than the Los Alamos uranium enrichment system. Really different.
Can't find the post though. The thing freaked me out, super dangerous to put on the net, erased my favorites entry. Possibly the thread was pulled, one hopes.
Anyway, the Germans were very close to having a nuclear weapon. The after war investigation was wrong when they said otherwise. The physicists were looking for an American style technology, which the Germans were not pursuing. the German project would not yield a lot, but maybe as much as the Hiroshima bomb. Dirty, dirty, dirty though.

Morning Iris7. I've read that the Japanese were also looking into developing a bomb. Imagine the world today if Germany or Japan had developed the bomb first.

Good morning Iris7.
That should make us worry what could be out there today in the hands of our fanatical enemies.
