Great movie on Moe Berg's life called The Catcher Was a Spy which I viewed on a Transpacific flight in March.

The fellow was incredibly brainy!

The book written about his life as a spy called ”The Catcher Was a Spy” by Nicholas Dawidoff. Shooting Heisenberg would have been a very serious step, because the U.S. embassy in Switzerland was key to acquiring intelligence about Nazi Germany and especially about their progress in developing an atomic bomb. Several scientists escaping the Nazis in the 30’s emphasized that Germany at their departure was well on the way to developing the atomic bomb, and well ahead of the British and Americans. Albert Einstein sent a confidential letter to FDR warning that the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics had been taken over by the military, and that a nuclear chain reaction in uranium could lead to construction of a bomb of enormous power. Germany had acquired Europe’s only uranium mine when subjecting Czechoslovakia. After conquering Europe, the Nazi’s placed Norway’s heavy-water plant at Rjukan under I.G. Farben’s control with the directive to vastly increase its output, which the cartel did by increasing its budget 1000%. Defeating France in June 1940 meant the Germans obtained control of Europe’s only cyclotron.
