OK, But Germany had neither the resources or the manpower to build a fission weapon in WW2.

As it turned out. Somebody thank the Eighth Air Force for their part in that, sil vous plait.

But of course, the Haigerloch material shows that without such interference they could indeed have created a sustaining fission pile, and could have easily come up with a *dirty bomb*- a very dirty bomb.

Just like Japan was trying to deliver to San Francisco in mid- August, 1946.
