Show Notes

During World War II, Nazi Germany launched a secretive program to harness the power of the atom - but just how close did they really get to building a nuclear weapon? In this episode of the Forbidden History podcast, we explore the science, the scientists, and the sabotage behind Hitler’s atomic ambitions. Was the world closer to a Nazi bomb than we realise, or was it doomed from the start?
