The German uranium enrichment facility was located in Poland at the IG Farben Buna Werke. The operation used coal fired electrical plants that generated more electricity than the entire city of Berlin. The NSA has released photographs of the plant. It includes an image showing two large cooling towers that bear a resemblance to those used in modern nuclear plants. This was a joint Heere, Luftwaffe and SS operation. Although the Americans knew about it, it was not destroyed.
In 1931, IG Farben was the fourth largest company in the world. It had the technical expertise to do this work.
Here is a view of the German reactor:

As a professional researcher with 25 years experience, I have been asked to locate material that included things far beyond that with which I was familiar. I had to assume at the beginning that I would find something. At times, I would find things quickly but usually, it was a very uphill hunt with many impediments along the way. One could look at it as finding evidence for preconceived notions as the motivation, but there were instances where in my research I found nothing. So if many people say there is nothing find, I have to ask myself: have they looked or just relied on the word of others? I find that in some cases, no one is looking. So if there is nothing to find, why am I finding things?
