Did I recently read somewhere that the German's are believed to have actually detonated a low-level atom bomb? Anybody know if there is anything to this?

Hi Biber

In 1941 the Kreigsmarine Rear Admiral Dr Otto Haxel began experimenting imploding small silver spheres with hollow charges. He obtained implosion pressures of 200,000 atmospheres with material being slammed together at very high temperatures at 7-10 kilometres per second. The point of this was, when repeated later by Kurt Diebner at Kummersdorf in 1942 with Lithium and a Deuterium target inside the spheres it generated artificial neutrons. Nowadays we call artifical neutron radiation X-rays.

The purpose of these experiments was that Dr Eric Schumann and Dr Walter Trinks developed a series of workable patents during WW2 for tactical nuclear warheads of about 1 kiloton yield. The implosion of Lithium with Deuterium acted like a spark plug to ignite sub-critical amounts of fissile uranium. The Paris cyclotron was used to obtain small amounts of highly enriched uranium during WW2.

It's highly controversial and much disputed whether Nazi Germany had such weapons however there was a diplomatic signal from Japan's embassy in Stockholm in December 1944 claiming they had been used in action on the eastern front. Also the Woods memorandum in Cordell Hull's papers alerted Washington from switzerland that three nuclear tests were thought to have occured near bisingen in the Schwabian Alps during July-August 1943

I don't know if this will help, but if you download "Rize of the Forth Reich" by Jim Marrs he talks about Hitler's A-Bomb. Some believe this book to be fiction, but there are factual evidence with names and documents to reference. Look at Part One, Chapter 3, starting page 50.

Intercepted diplomatic signals ("MAGIC" decrypts) from the Japanese Enbassy in Stockholm in December 1944 take it out of the realm of fiction:
