I wish I had been there with a loudspeaker and a recording of the Horst Wessel hymn.

And you would probably be welcomed. Here is something I heard about the Nazi book burning, though I am not sure if it’s true. They burned many scientific books, that would have been useful, for the German nuclear weapons program.

I have read that as well. Additionally, some of the foremost scientists in the Manhattan project were German jews who fled the country when the nazis came to power.

Highly unlikely. The top scientists working on the nuke program didn't need textbooks. All the advanced knowledge was available from other sources.
