Joachimsthal mines were also famous for their silver. The coins produced there were called “Thalers” auf Deutsch, pronounced “tallers”, with an a as in alley, they were called “dollars” in English, cf. Marlowe’s Faust. (Thal is German for valley, roughly equivalent to dale in English.)

Dirty (non-nuclear) bomb project? The Germans tried to transfer V2 rockets to Japan via U-boat, in the hope that the Japanese nuclear bomb would be finished in time to deliver it via German missile after the fall of the Reich. The plan went awry in a couple of ways, including the Japanese loss of the port where the delivery was to take place.
