Thank you - it’s rare to find a detail like this. This stood out to me in particular in the conversation:
DIEBNER: We always thought we would need two years for one bomb.
HAHN: If they have really got it, they have been very clever in keeping it secret.
WIRTZ: I’m glad we didn’t have it.
WEIZSÄCKER: That’s another matter.
Wirtz clearly understood what it would have meant if the Nazis, not the Americans, had gotten the bomb first.
