Thank you, Nick. I wonder why The Register would fabricate such a story but that's a separate issue.

There were many more individuals involved in the German atomic program. The cubes and plates are confirmed in the book Atomversuche in Deutschland by Guenter Nagel. They were made by the Auer company which the Americans made it a point to bomb. In the late 1990s, a number of secret documents were provided to the Deutsches Museum by the Americans. Among them, a report dated 2 May 1945 from the ALSOS Mission.

"A new edition of 'Forschungsberichte' was planned containing articles on successful pile experiments. Five articles in all were contemplated, and Gerlach wrote an introductory summary. We found this introductory summary in rough pencilled form, which gives the status of the project as of January 1945."

January 1945?

Anyone who cares to look can go to the Deutsches Museum.
