I am sure Uncle Adolf would use atom bombs aganist anyone,even aganist
Germans
only if he had one.
He needed only two months more to do that when US forces occupied

Forest.
I would like to see your source on that one. My understanding is
that the Germans were years from nuclear success. There is a picture that
sometimes surfaces of a convincing-looking nuclear reactor, but they never
made it work. They never achieved a chain reaction, a basic step towards
designing and producing a plutonium weapon. Several books/articles that I
have read point to one crucial miscalculation, they had miscalculated the
cross-section of the Uranium atom to a neutron reaction. There is some
speculation that the miscalculation was deliberate. I know of no Uranium
separation plants that they had on a sufficient scale to make a weapon
within any short time frame, so they were not near to building a Uranium
weapon. For an idea what that takes, go visit Oak Ridge.

BTW Keith, after the cease-fire British forces seized in Hamburg 10 t
stored
heavy water
Heavy water is convenient, because it is a very good moderator of
neutrons and makes it much easier to make a nuclear reactor. However, it is
not a necessary or even a common part of today's nuclear reactors and AFAIK
is not used in nuclear weapons at all.


,what do you thing Germans,famous for their precise
bookkeeping,simply forget such important ware neccesary for the
development of
their nuclear program in a warehouse in Hamburg?

Who says they did?
