They repeatedly located Heisenberg before his capture, but never could get his velocity.
Yes his wave function was very elusive
When they caught him, did he collapse?
you are not taking this seriously are you ? this is not about breaking bad.
I see what you did there, priceless! Seriousness aside -I think that Heisenberg was very uncertain about his principle.
@@TinHatRanch He he he;)
Simon, I have a new channel idea for you.
"Micro Projects"
- Simon does the dishes
- Simon fills out his taxes
- Simon arranges for a painter to come paint a wall outside his house
Simon doing his taxes would not be a micro project…
@@allangibson2408 Assuming Simon pays his taxes, allegedly.
Aren't taxes done automatically in the UK? My understanding is that filing your taxes yourself is an American thing.
@@Axemantitan Only for employee taxes.
Simon changing the batteries in his smoke alarm. Simon doing his laundry. Simon cleaning his office.
So, you're saying there was some uncertainty over Heisenberg's principles?
ha HAAA! I see what you did there...
Nice.
Should be top comment
Alright, pack it up boys. This already won the comment section.
Take your thumbs up and get out, you monster.
Yes because the heisenberg uncertainty compensator had not been invented yet.
I had a mechanical engineering professor that took great delight in pointing out the important names in the field of aeronautics that left Nazi Germany and moved our knowledge of aircraft design forward a decade or so.
You also left out the Norwegian Commando raid that took out the heavy water facility early on in the war. Without this Germany was always going to have a major shortage of heavy water for both experimentation and in production of any larger scale projects.
Yep, ads where present. Two at the start, two in the middle and two unskipable toward the end. Thanks CZcams, Simon et al spend so much time on this content and cant place ads on this subject yet you can.
ADs??? Lol. Just have CZcams premium.
Ain't nobody got time for ads. Premium is the only way to fly.
or just get an ad blocker only ads cannot block the person doing it otherwise not seen an ad on here in over a year of using it
@@goodwood-rc4nx Ad blockers rule! Wonder if the folks recommending Premium are bots or paid by CZcams.
I forgot about adds with my premium
As a German, I still understand Simon's horribly mispronounced German words WAY better than Hitler's screaming speeches.
Interesting.. Did he have a strong accent or just bellowing incomprehensibly? Strange how his speeches are regarded as having been a huge influencer on the people if it was difficult to understand.
@@dna9838honestly it isnt hard to imagine how easy it was to be taken in by it. Some of the photos from rallies and meetings have serious iconography and a lot of faux class to them. Imagine being at that rally hearing a man scream vehemently about how your people were wrongs and we must take back whats ours blah blah. Kinda like how a concert can be a big positive influence on folks a nazi rally could probably do something similar
@@dna9838 probably the fact that the recordings are potato quality doesn't help much
I always think of mars attacks “ack,ack ack ack,ack!”
@@dna9838 Sorry for the late answer.... it's a combination of the poor quality of the old audio recordings (as someone else suggested) and his bellowing manner of speech. Some of his speeches are very easy to understand, while other times when he starts shouting and screaming I'm seriously lost without subtitles. I guess people in his day and age were more used to this "dramatic" tone and they didn't have to deal with the sound quality issues.
Lmao at the intro.
The idea of the Nazis having nuclear weapons was key to an alternate ending in the computer game Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. In that ending, Hitler never purged leading scientists and thus had a HUGE head start in the development of nuclear weapons.
Loved that game as a kid
Geez I forgot all about that game
Another not insignificant point is that the US itself was for the most part unreachable by the axis while Germany was being bombed constantly. They had to fight to grab hold of whatever resources they could get while the US could use the vast resources they already had unhindered.
There were Amerika bomber prototypes that coulda done a suicide mission if they had a bomb big enough to make it worth while.
@@Iamthestig42069 that also wasn’t really going anywhere developmentally. Not enough resources to do it and the tech really just wasn’t feasable at the time
@@kaelibw34 They had a 6 engine piston powered prototype bomber that could reach American shores. Big dumb wings and big dumb piston engines.
@@Iamthestig42069 even if they did get the bomb and had operational bombers for the project they would still face allied air power in Western Europe, an Atlantic that was controlled by the Allies and had heavy radar coverage and US land based defences. Then there's the fact that the Allies had so thoroughly broken the German codes that intelligence would give them a good chance of knowing about any missions well in advance.
@@Iamthestig42069 had to get to Tennessee and new Mexico
Hitler was choosing between manly metal vs. some nerdy scientific theory, and decided that a war will be won by a Maus.
He actually preferred the Ratte…
@@TRC2002 Hitler was always stupid - he was just a good orator, the ideas were always someone else’s (starting with Ludendorff).
@@TRC2002 Yea... meth will give you delusions of grandeur especially when given power.
Hitler: "I know, a big-ass tank? How about a sound gun?"
US: "nuke goes brrr"
He was actually never really interested in making nukes in the first place. I saw an interview with a former Wehrmacht officer who spoke to him on the issue. He said that H was more concerned with 'the nuclear fallout on plants and animals in the surrounding area'. Yes, really.
In the end Heisenberg was about as likely to build a nuclear weapon as Walter White.
Schulz and Klink were the Allie's greatest weapons.
Actually, Walter White has the advantage of being fictional. Of course, having him build a nuclear bomb would have lost a lot of viewers since it wouldn't be very realistic which is why you mentioned it.
Nuclear FISSION and in the backround the setup for nucleus FUSION ... great editing ... awesome
lol with a black and white grainy filter over a tokamak
I saw that myself and instantly went to the comments 🤣
Its accurate 😋😉😀
The rubes will never notice
3:15 - The irony of talking about nuclear fission while showing a Tokamak style nuclear fusion machine.
I saw a documentary series called "Hogan's Heroes" that said a sneaky Col & his group of misfits hampered old bubble head's progress.
I watch reruns of the documentary every week night.
How Hogan & his crew managed to survive lethal rounds from the Nazis for several seasons is beyond my imagination
Did you see the historical documents about Gilligan’s Island? _Those poor people…_
Haven't seen the documentaries Hogan made of his personal life
@@jeffrey9040 On metv? Because I do too.
Destroying the heavy water facility in Norway definitely added a year or two to their timetable
Yes, they were trying to use heavy water as a moderator to achieve a chain reaction. Enrico Fermi used purified graphite blocks as a moderator to build the first chain reaction in a squash court at the U of Chicago.
Nonsense. The world's largest chemical cartel at the time was I.G. Farben. Heavy water production occurred inside Germany at the Linde Eismaschinen AG in Britz.
Actually I did a project on this exact topic at the university. There's one excellent book covering everything Simon says in this video in great detail and also putting very much effort into explaining what went wrong in Germany that went right in the US. Also it's a quite good read (at least the german version) and pretty entertaining for a book about this somehow dark topic:
The Night of the Physicists (Die Nacht der Physiker) written by Richard von Schirach if anyone is interested...
Hi! Thank you! I am extremely interested and will be getting this ASAP! \m/ :)
You probably got put on a watchlist somewhere lol
Uh, danke dir. Von dem Buch hab ich noch nichts gehört. Sieht auf jeden Fall spannend aus. :-)
As soon as I read the name of the author, I had a feeling who his father was. Yup, Baldur von Schirach, former leader of Hitlerjugend. Gonna see if I can find the book anywhere here. Thanks for the tip!
'The total number (of people) involved (in the Manhattan Project) was thought to be around half a million people'
I love it when people deny the existence of aliens by saying 'oh you can't keep a secret when so many people know about it'
Point proven.
In the beginning, you kept saying 'fission', but showed animation of fusion
Yep! This is typical for Simon's videos. At a minimum the video editor has no clue what he/she is looking at but puts it in anyway.
Yeah, they keep doing that. Someone hasn't a clue about the difference. Five minutes on the Internet could probably clear that up, but that just to much like hard work, isn't it ??
Fusion in a tokamak.
@@jamesharmer9293 I don’t disagree with you or your point aside from the fact that is you take the sheer amount of videos Simon and company put out everyday and knowing how long even a 15 min video takes to actually produce and upload, it’s almost a small miracle every single video isn’t completely wrong from script to editing. However I’d think that if you have a team of competent people making these videos you’d think they would actually take the extra time to not F’up every video or pictures used in every video, imo.
the title card for "nuclear fission" also had a nuclear fusion reactor as the background
0:37 I thought the most despised, ruthless dictator of the 20th century was Chairman Mao
He can be the most despised of the 21st century. Unless Biden or his successor manages to top him. Unless you're referring to the father of the current guy. Not sure how it works in China.
Simon, about Hitler: "the most despised ruthless dictator of the 20th century"
Stalin: Am I a joke to you?
Yeah people are conveniently forgetting stalin.. I wonder why
@@RobertFletcherOBE Hitler drew more enemies, this increase your evilness rating far more than killing your own people.
It also increase the amount of incoming firepower and reduce your life expectancy by the same amount.
Mao killed more people than Stalin but China had more people.
Stalin was second most despised while he was fighting Hitler. Though not before or since.
And then there's Chairman Mao...
Pretty much just the Russians despised Stalin more that Hitler.
Every time I see a clip of Hitler raising his hand the way he does it always looks like he's looking for a high five just to be left hanging.
Wouldnt you get angry at that?
Then he crosses his arms and looks angry. 😖
That's god high fiving him.
@@HolgerLovesMusic Well G*d smacked him and his Nazi party in to obliteration.
@@drscopeify I doubt it. Since WW2 everything goes down the shitter.
Where is your god now?
Degeneration of morality, logic and everything else.
Thanks allied forces ;)
I am kinda sad that you dident mention Norway and the Norwegian heavy water sabotage
Same here. The attacks on the Norsk Hydro plants are very interesting
Same I was just going to mention this as well as I always thought the raid there was one of the big reasons their nuclear program couldn't continue.
@@kaelibw34 That was one of the greatest monkey wrench jobs of all time. How about a side project?
@@tgmccoy1556 Or a Sabaton song... oh wait :-)
The heroes of the Telemark.. :)
Your title of “Nuclear Fission” was in front of a tokamak “fusion” reactor, right?
Certainly seems so... Fusion Fission Smishion:-)
The search string for stock photography must have just been Nuclear and no one on staff knew any better.😂😂😂
clueless,poor research.
Certainly is easy making these videos, without even the slightest thing someone would point out.
And yeah, I know fusion and fission are two different things. I delivered a speech in grade 10, 35-odd years ago. Anyway, some people are just so anal. I would hate to make content like this, with every nerd picking apart the things like meanings of Etymology and Entomology...
@@wazza33racer Its youtube. I've seen *FAR WORSE* oversights
Don't forget the raid on the Norwegian heavy water plant. Kirk Douglas & Richard Harris, something about "Telemark".
Saboteurs
find out about the real story that film only touches on what really happened got a few things correct but the rest just made up
heavy water is the easy path to an atomic weapon the nazis were actually pursuing both the easy path and hard path to it in fact it is possible that the plutonium in the second bomb dropped on japan was nazi plutonium or that the bomb its self was a nazi bomb that was surendered by a uboat to the usa at the end of the war
I would recommend the series whit 13 episodes named Battle for the heavy water.
Simon, you and the gang have really kept me going for a whiile now. this world has become too much to bear in many ways, but your content keeps me calm and distracts me from my pain,
thank you so much for this
I wish ye well
The B-29 bomber program, the bomber that dropped the atom bombs was a huge project that reviled the Manhattan project in scope and technical advancement. the printed circuit board, found in most all electronics today, was developed for the B-29 program.
this will be an interesting subject to video aboit
Rivaled
I like this lighter and joking Simon. I especially enjoyed your comments and jokes about Hitler, Goring, and Nazis in general.
If you like this go watch his channel business blaze
@@Scott-uh5gk it's 90% comments and jokes.
Yes go watch fact boy on the blaze you'll be a legend
Business blaze is amazing but thanks @ Scott
Unfortunately, CZcams these days is the refuge of American neonazis who have been chased off of every other platform, and it's only a matter of time before those intellectual delinquents come and attack our Fact Boy.
thanks simon, and crew. love the videos
Love your monologues ... and to the point videos...
Warhammer 40000 doesn't seem to mind a shaved head talking about Nazis.
Ahhhhh love it, when Simon tries to speak German. It's so bad, yet so awesome
You and your team's work keeps getting better, Simon. Thank you for your service!
I really love these videos well informed and well put together another great video Simon you've done a great job
Just goes to show CZcams lied about ads, saying they don't want part of certain subjects. Well it's perfectly fine for Google to make all that money all while demonizing channels.
Albert Einstein: I have an idea for a new type of bomb
America: shut up and take my money
Um. Einstein wasn't a major player in the Manhattan project, which was mostly applied Physics and engineering. Einstein was a theoretical physicist so his contributions had been made long before the war. Szilard asked him to co-sign the letter because Einstein was famous.
@@jgbeck1000 yeah, but no body knows who the Hell Szilard is so the joke wouldn't of been very funny. And I'm pretty sure Oppenheimer was the main lead on the project.
Einstein worked on anti-submarine warfare during the war. I have heard that his loyalty to the US was suspect enough not to allow him to work on the Manhattan Project. In August 1945 he was surprised and saddened to hear that the Bomb had been dropped.
@@brownbear992 The "joke" wasn't funny. You're not a comedy writer...
Simon - Love your shows. you do an amazing job on them.
Excellent, professional, very educative video.
Thanks.
15:31 Thats the thing tho. If they had not purged and been a normal "state" they would not have been perceived to be evil and the powers that united against them would not have been so willing to do so. Its very interesting and just proves we all work best together. Not hollowed out.
Man in the High Castle was a pretty good series
Solid video. Saw it within an hour of release. And there were even ads!
Loved this, thank you for producing it despite the chance for no Monetizing, Simon and Crew.
Dissapointed you did not mention anything about the heavy water production in occupied Norway and the brave norwegian SOE agents that risked theyr life to sabotage it, later on blowing up a ferry sinking what the germans were going to send to germany.
Maybe figured it was widely known?
Idk. He could make a whole video about that even
Yes he totally missed that. Im sure Hitler was briefed on how long it would take to replace the stolen water and influenced his decision not to make this a fiscal priority.
An intrigue often missed was how the British were able to snatch the vast majority of the heavy water available at the start of the war from under the noses of the Germans. That and the British nuclear program,”Tubes Alloy,” which was eventually folded into the Manhattan project. The British realized they could never afford to build a bomb and their contributions to the Manhattan project were extremely valuable.
@@BillehBobJoe the Scandinavian battlefield of ww2 is not mentioned much unless it is about it. Most documentaries don't mention much about it.
@@stephenwalton7079 hehe yeah, the brittish and french bought all the heavy water before the war started, at least before it came to norway
It’d be a crazy mission to search entire towns for nuclear reactors
Thx for the awesome vid! I would like to see a video about some helicopters like the Apache, Huey, Blackhawk or Cobra maybe
I really liked the few times your presentation persona cracked for a smile or reaction. Just a little of that is great.
I just literally got an advert about some guy in the US that sees "constant visions from god"...
Stay classy, CZcams...
god is kinda creepy.
@@HarryNicNicholas you mean god is kinda sus
Germany could not afford it? Well, the V weapon programme was 50% more expensive as the Manhattan programme, and that (The V weapons programme) killed more people producing the weapons than using them.
The Nazis invested only 1 /1000 in their nuclear program compared to the Manhattan project.
They even didn't have a working reactor.
The US was lucky to get the best physisists, because they mostly left Europe before
Wow, really? I had never heard of that statistic before.
@@michaelhowell2326 Germany did only base research, they had no uranium enrichment and no working reactor to breed Plutonium.
The Haigerloch reactor was too small and had not enough fissile material to be functional.
Germany suffered from bombing raids on the whole country, you can't really build all the processing facilities under such circumstances.
The Manhattan project employed 150k people at the end, Germany didn't even have this amount of people left for such a project.
@@michaelhowell2326 thats because its bollocks.
The v2 wikipedia page states that, but many other sources and common sense end up with a much lower cost.
The wikipedia page references a book that assigns an insane unit cost, multiplies that insane number by the units produced and comes out with an insane total.
Most other sources state a much lower unit cost.
Common sense compares the cost of 20,000 slave labourers for the V2 vs 150,000 well paid americans on overtime for the manhattan project and quickly does the maths in its head, rather than believing crap it reads on the internet.
@@michaelhowell2326 Plus, their access to heavy water, which they'd been relying on from Norway, was severely curtailed after the French smuggled 185 kgs of heavy water out of the hydroelectric facilities at the Vemork electric plant (with the tacit approval of the Norwegian government) in Telemark, Norway, when it became apparent the Germans were going to invade Norway; the heavy water was secretly shipped to Oslo, then smuggled into Scotland. The problem was, the plant was still in operation, so the British attempted several (failed) commando missions, and the Norwegian Resistance all tried to hamper operations at the plant. Three major operations -- Grouse, Freshman, and Gunnerside -- were attempted. Grouse did successfully land four SOE-trained Norwegian operatives into the area around the plant in 1942. Freshman was supposed to be a glider assault, led by British Paratroopers, but bad weather and bad luck caused all of the gliders and tow-planes to crash, and everyone died or was captured. The final operation, Gunnerside, the Norwegian Resistance fighters who had been dropped previously, working with SOE-trained Norwegian Commandos, finally took out the planting 1943. British bombers finished the job, and the Germans decided to take what water they had to beat a hasty retreat. They loaded the cargo onto the ferry, SF HYDRO, which then sunk by the Norwegian Resistance.
No more heavy water, no more aspirations for a nuclear bomb. You can find out about all of this on the "World War Two" channel, where they're going into the War week-by-week, but also looking at the machinations behind the scenes, the personalities, the technology, and even have a biweekly series called "The War Against Humanity," which is tough to watch, but if they're going to look at the subject unflinchingly, I can at least give them the courtesy of watching (I hope they're getting psychological support throughout because it IS tough to watch).

Where ever these videos are film is amazing!
6:27 - 6:35 Almost spit my beer out lmfao, that was great editing
Still hoping to see Denver International Airport! The second largest airport in the world by land (though tbh King Fahd shouldn’t count since it has a third of the runways as DIA!)). It’s one of the busiest in the world and has some of the more unique architecture and interior design among airports.
This is attempt 3 I think. At least in recent memory, since I know I've asked for this before.
Not sure if it should be here or on Geographics though. Jeppensen would be a decent Biographics companion too since the terminal is named after him.
I hate to be that guy but Denver airport, really? lol. Been many times, its nothing special...
@@DrNastea It's far more interesting than just about any other airport in the US. So yeah, really.
@@Viper-dn8ix Is it not already a video though?
@@CornPopsDood Nope. Searched the channel for "Airport" and "Denver." Could you be thinking of NORAD and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex?
@@Viper-dn8ix Damn, I woulda swore I’d seen him make one lol.
Funfact: The German V-2 rocket program cost 2 times as much as the Manhattan project.
References please. This is gold if it is provably true.
Seems in line with Nazi Germany's usual spending habits.
Proof or thats just bullshit.
A quick Google Search actually does prove this. Not necessarily the development program but the development and production cost roughly 40billion in today's USD, compared to just over 20Billion in today's USD for the Manhattan project
God this generation is lazy as hell. Google it.. old days you had to go to the library and search
Great video like always!
I am surprised you made no mention of the sabotage of the Norwegian heavy water plant in Vemork and the British work on "Tubes".
As noted here, a German nuke was never likely. The actual design and then the enrichment process really taxed the allies, even allowing for their much greater resources. So, in the end, history was well served.
The Germans had atomic bombs. Some make the mistake of thinking the Americans were further along. They weren't. See the book Critical Mass by Carter P. Hydrick.
I had plenty of interruptions for adverts here in the UK.
Same here.
One interruption in Finland with two adverts.
THANK YOU i really enjoyed this video have subbed , i think its crazy you can not have advertising on any video with nazi in the title and to calrify i iave a keen intrest in the engineering the tech imagined, planned, and sometimes created what i find mad is youtube can filter and do remove content.
You are simply educating people like me and providing interesting content and other videos by other youtubers maybe anti nazi against Fascism.
A person might say it discourages the non mainstream from investigating and talking about a crucial point in human history and a final thought how much have the discovery and history channel profited from producing tv shows based around these topics.
I can't even keep up anymore how many Simon's channels I've subbed. But as they all have great content, so why not. :D
setting this to 0.75 and savoring every moment.
Not gonna lie: the title is the most terrifying thing I've read all week.
With the "what if" channel in my feed i can agree
watch "man in the high castle" 😏 there the nazis won by nuking the US
Man in the high Castle is the best way to put it in this video aside the season 4 😆
@Megaprojects -- I think it was Alan Alexrod in his book BEYOND FEAR who pointed out that Germans didn't have the infrastructure in place to make a nuclear bomb. The US had things like the TVA that allowed us to have the electric to run the equipment to separate out the uranium. The TVA doesn't sound like a big deal but it was. It was a real Mega project. It's was why Oak Ridge was selected for a lot of the nuclear production. Germany didn't have anything like that. By the time they attacked Russia and experienced that first winter, they were screwed because they didn't have the people to do what was needed to make a bomb or much else. The slavery system wasn't enough. They were stupid about how they took over countries and occupied them. They didn't seem to think of the long term or strategically.
There's another issue the Nazis had: they didn't have any aircraft capable of delivering a nuke. Little Boy, the smaller and lighter of the two bombs, was about the size of a Tallboy and there were only two bombers in the war that could carry such a weapon: the Lancaster and the B-29.
Nazi nuclear weapons and planet 9 at the same time, don't mind if I do
«Then things started to get a little… well, Nazi-ish» haha! Love this channel.

Clearly they were all incredibly horrible but how many of their flags/emblems or the mention of their party name will get you thrown in Facebook jail? How many will get your video demonetized as Mr.Whistler pointed out at the beginning.
It would be nice to see a mention of the heavy water sabotage operation at Rjukan in Norway in the conclusion.
HAHAHAh i love your vids.. the intro is so true which sucks! you deserve all the ad rev you can get!
Simon, that is a tokamak FUSION toroidal, not a fission reactor. 😄
It looks prety
I'm gonna say it again. F22 Raptor Video please!
You probably are.
My Grandpa worked in Oak ridge TN he never talked about it much or even at all to even my dad or family we still wonder to this day what he knew and did
My late uncle worked at Bletchley Park during WW2. He never spore about that after the war either.
The Manhattan Project wasn't a solely American venture.
It was the follow on from 'Tube Alloys'. The UK/Canadian programme which was started before and subsumed into the Manhattan Project.
No mention of this however.
Perhaps because the subject was if the Nazis had an atomic bomb?
@@buckhorncortez and yet plenty of other mentions about other linked bits of 'trivia'. Or are we expected just to be listening to precisely the subject matter and nothing which contributes to the subject matter?
Of course it could have been mentioned. Don't be ridiculous.
@@totalbamber Lots of things "could have been mentioned." Like the British claiming to have done a background check on Klaus Fuchs which was a total fabrication by the British, and then sending him to work in Canada and finally at Los Alamos. While the MAUD Report provided independent verification of what American scientists were telling the government, it was hardly the Rosetta Stone of physics for an atomic bomb. In fact, Oppenheimer had a bomb sketched on his blackboard about one week after being informed of fission and witnessing a fission experiment at the Berkeley RAD LAB in 1939.
I saw ads, I did nazi that coming
Great video, fact boy!
(Ah, y’all misspelled “Versailles” in that title card. It takes an ‘s’ at the end…)

Well Simon, MAC cosmetics was that ad that came when I watched this one..... lipstick.
Thanks for your continued acerbic and informative sarcasm... I find it your main selling point!
I saw one where Simon was slightly tipsy, one of my favorite shows and damn he's be hella fun out in a pub crawl :)
So, with Nazi nukes, "Fatherland" or "The Man in the High Castle" becomes more of a reality. Shudders.
This "muh notsees" hysteria is reaching ridicule levels.
In the end, Gen. George Patton had that "accident" for telling some unpleasant truths.
famous Wernher von Braun was in the 40's busy with developing crude ICBM, see Aggregat 9+10 www.astronautix.com/a/a9a10.html
now imagine a nuke as warhead of those missiles, aimed at US east coast metropoles. even if the nukes would not have been very sophisticated: the first country to lob nukes across atlantic (after aiming at UK and Soviet Union) would have won IMHO.
for a surprise: soviet zone held a shitton of uranium ore in so much quantity east germany was once the 4th largest supplier worldwide. and it became property of USSR of course immediately...

It’d be a crazy mission to search entire towns for nuclear reactors. Simon - Love your shows. you do an amazing job on them..
I thought it was Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner who discovered nuclear fission.
Hahn did the experiment, Meitner interpreted the result as fission.
Right on!And they were aiming to build nuclear-electric power plants for the german fleet of U-boats.like-mini-generators able to fit inside the U-boot.They never built any bombs but wanted to produce electric power generators
@@MyMikey88 Except, to my knowledge, Lise Meitner was Jewish so I’m not sure she was working to empower the nazis. Actually I think she had to flee Germany and that’s why they took the credit from her.
@@Dan_Roland usually in the lab you just do the experiment then the industrial process goes to a company.But the main idea was that the germans were aiming towards generating electric power plants.Today submarines all use this system of nuclear-electric power plants but the first to think of it was OttoHahn and his research group.What I know is that OttoHahn also left Germany and was awarded Nobel prize for his work

Yeah that would be a great one!
7:48 Hermann's barber did him dirty, looks like Mr. Bean
I know it's been done by a lot of other channels, but I would love to see you do a video on the Philadelphia Project.
I saw "Nazi" and "nuclear weapons" and said "Vertzefurk?"
Isn't this more a miniproject? Like, they didn't get much actually done.
Gotta make money somehow lmao
Maybe his side projects channel would have been more appropriate. Lol
Does it really matter?
Commercials! Yay Simon and Ollie get paid!
I did see ads on this video, multiple ones. Glad CZcams isn't demonetizing this.
Your nuclear fission stock gif is actually nuclear fusion which is the opposite of fission.
YES! I believe that production quality might possibly hint at the motivation of the channel. Inexcusable.
The Norwegian sabotage mission of the heavy water reactor should have been mentioned.
Heavy water production site, not reactor, but yes. The heavy water was critical for the low enrichment grade uranium the German nuclear scientists had to work with. Without it, no working reactor was possible, preventing further research or production of weapons grade plutonium.
Simon can you do the Hoegh Autoliners for MegaProjects? Maybe a SideProjects

Being educational is probably more offensive to YT than your title. They like their audience dumb and impressionable.
theyre all about vlogs so you're 100% correct lol
Can you do the Iowa Class Battleship? The last battleship in combat and one of the few ship classes to have every one as a museum. Also… *Nine* 16in guns
The only ship to ever sail with ALMOST enough Dakka, as impossible as that is to truly achieve.
0:15, good. I was hoping to cut off the "were not" part but you played that well. I will quote you out of context, or I'll dye trying
1:55 high five ya... don't leave me hangin brah...
