Re: German secret projects in Norway
Thank you, sir. I have read accounts that show the Germans had atomic bombs and U-Boats stationed in Norway with V-1 launchers and carrying compartments on deck. Also, there is a report that heavy water production was occurring in Germany through the Linse company. In the August 8, 1945 issue of the Washington Post, an article titled "Allies Seized German Atom Experts, Data." one should ask: How could these people be "experts" in such matters?

Re: German secret projects in Norway
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I heard once that newspapers sometimes used to exaggerate. It could never happen nowadays of course …

Re: German secret projects in Norway
Research is difficult, dismissal is easy. Why raise the ire of the British or American public with such stories? The British expected atomic bomb attacks and had plans in place if they occurred. When was the German atomic project officially over from a "functional capacity"? Yet, we have this:
As Soviet intelligence teams were allowed in the America zone, the JIC* claimed that it was critically harming American interests: "Unless the migration of important German scientists and technicians into the Soviet zone is immediately stopped, we believe that the Soviet Union within a relatively short time may equal the United States developments in the fields of atomic research and guided missiles..." Source: The Paperclip Conspiracy by Tom Bower. * Joint Intelligence (Sub-) Committee (of COS)* Chief(s) of Staff Respectfully, those who knew nothing valuable, especially regarding German atomic research, did know.
