You have definitely gone round the bend. I guess next you will be telling
us
that the US got the atomic bomb from Germany, huh?

Teuton has already made that claim in another thread. According to him the
Nazis built and tested two atomic bombs.


To be fair that was demented Denyav

I stand corrected.

Gee Dan, how nice of you. BTW, I think you were confusing what I said
in another thread. What I said is that Germany had two radiological
weapons under development at the end of WW2, not Atomic bombs.
In Feb 1945 the Sanger Silverbird project was reactivated. The bombs
for that Germany-to-New York mission (which had no chance of
succeeding) would have been radiological spheres contained within an
SC-series bomb casing. Two were under construction and captured by the
Allies and destroyed. The Sanger Silverbird never was built but the
mock-up was under construction at Lofer. In 1945 there was also the
planned A-9/A-10 ICBM which the A-9 had flown and the Prufstand XII
towed submarine missile containers under construction in Stettin.
Three were completed, but no missiles for them nor subs. The Hortens
also started small scale construction on the Ho XVIIIA flying wing
bomber. Only the tubular steel framework for the central section was
begun.
It was apparent that an effort was being made for some type of "strike
NY" attack but all efforts failed.
