All the cloak and dagger and intrigue are so nostalgic. Today all they have to do is make a few campaign contributions to their favorite DemonRAT candidate and they can get all the state secrets they need.

At least Broda did NOT Hide his Birth Certificate! :-)

In 1983, at the age of 73, the celebrated professor was buried in a "grave of honour".

I hope he was dead!

“Engelbert (Bertie) Broda”

So was he a jew? Was the cold war the fault of the jews?

Is rev wright, right.

Sakharov said that the Soviet scientists working on nuclear weapons had a copy of the Manhattan Project's "Nuclear Weapons Handbook", translated into Russian and known as the "Black Book", because of its black cover (in the Russian Edition) and because of its content.

There is no doubt that the Soviets had the intellectual horsepower and industrial capacity to build a bomb, the nests of spies in the West just made it vastly easier. Most of them were ideologically motivated, meaning they were idiots. There is something about being cloistered in the academy that blinds people to the evil of totalitarians and tyrants, unto to this very day.

What excuse does the LSM have?

“”In 1941, Broda was offered a job at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, working on atomic reactors and controlled chain reactions with Hans Halban, a French refugee physicist at the cutting edge of nuclear research. Halban had fled the Nazis in 1940 and arrived in Britain carrying a suitcase containing most of France’s supply of “heavy water” used in nuclear reactors.
The Security Service objected to the appointment, noting that Broda represented a serious espionage risk. The spycatchers were overruled by the Government’s Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, which insisted Broda was too good a scientist to waste. “The exigencies of this department do override objections of security grounds,” the head of the department declared, but added complacently that “Mr Broda would not be employed on the more secret part” of the laboratory’s work.
It was a critical error: Broda was soon at the heart of the project, privy not only to Britain’s nuclear secrets but also those of the Manhattan Project, the US scientific programme to develop the first atomic bomb. Less than a year after starting work, Broda sent his first package of information, via Tudor Hart, to the KGB.
The KGB’s espionage campaign to steal the Allies’ nuclear bomb plans was codenamed “Enormous”. Broda was given the cover name “Eric”. In December 1942, the KGB station in London reported delightedly to Moscow that “ ‘Eric’ — who, since January 1942 has been Halban’s assistant in special division (devoted to Enormous) of the central laboratory on explosives in Cambridge — is completely informed about all the workings on Enormous both in England and in the US because he has access to American material on Enormous that the English had received as part of an information exchange.” “”
