No, the Nazis didn't manufacture any nuclear bombs.The biggest bomb ever made in the world or its histroy was made by the Nazis in world war 2.
Duh, yeah. And how were they going to deliver it?It was a nuclear bomb made of 2,000 tons of Uranium.
Pure crap.So 2,000 tons of Uranium was enough uranium to blow a whole in the earths crust and form a new european land mass from the spewing lava, which could have been called the mother land a new europe.
Defects in targeting?The only reason that it was not detonated was because of defects in targeting,
The Nazi's never even got a reactor working, let alone a bomb. And my understanding is that the consensis of the American scientists reviewing the Nasi reactor design is that it was so bad that if they had gotten it to go critical, the entire research team would probably have been fried by the almost complete lack of sheilding.
For comparison, the Apollo rockets and the largest fixed-wing aircraft max out at about 250 tons of payload. A V-2 had a payload of less than 1 ton. The British "Grand Slam" bomb weighted only 11 tons. (All from Wikipedia articles of good standing.)
As I understand it, once you have a really good fusion explosion, the explosion can be made arbitrarily large by packing as much U-238 around the device as you dare.

2,000 tons?
Hardly. The Nazis didn't have anywhere near that amount of uranium at all.
Pure crap.
Defects in targeting?
Do you speak English at all?
That would be why the US and USSR spent so much time and effort reducing the CEP of their ICBMs then, neh?It's a freaking nuclear bomb you cant miss.
Dude thats hilarious, "defects in targeting" It's a freaking nuclear bomb you cant miss. The US missed nagasaki by several miles and still roasted 90,000 people. You really cant miss. Also i think he meant 2,000 tons of raw uranium ore. And very little weapons grade uranium come out of ore. like a tiny amount.

Seems unlikely. "Dirty bombs" aren't really nearly as dangerous as TV would have you believe. You could probably kill some people with it and you would probably raise the odds of everyone in the area eventually developing cancer by 5% or so, but you aren't really going to do much damage with anything like that.I remember seeing something on the History channel a while back about a Nazi plan to fly a bomber across the Atlantic and airburst a "dirty bomb" of natural uranium over New York City. In order to disseminate the contaminant by high explosive, the bomb itself was quite large and heavy, both due to the amount of uranium used as well as the mass of the HE deflagration charge. Of course it wasn't what we could call a "nuclear" weapon, but it raises the possibility of some confusion.
Has anybody else heard of this? I can't find a source for it so I could be totally off base.
