man, hitler didnt make no fukn technological advancements,...hitler was a dumbass in those areas,himmler was 100 times smarter. and neither one of them knew shit about technology. The doctors and scientists that he recruited from around the world did all the work. One scientist saved all of our ass's and he was the super genious behind all of it. The same scientist that pulled all the strings on the russian and american space race. Dont ever give them fuckin clowns that kind of credit.

@863LAMAR Well, of course. When we say "Hitler was working on a rocket" we clearly mean "Hitler's scientists", not Hitler himself. No credit being given away for free here.

good presentation...i'm trying to work out if that's a baltimore/virginia accent... :s

[derekowens]

@sidewalkturtle113 Ha - not a bad guess. I actually grew up in Charleston, SC. But Charleston was settled by a lot of the same peoples that settled the north, including the French and Scottish and some Irish and Germans, so the accent is a bit eclectic.

I love Feynman!

I read that story is his book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!"

[derekowens]

@8644371 Yes, Feynman was amazing, and the book you mention is a good one. Also well worth reading is James Gleik's "Genius", which is a well done biography of Feynman. All of Gleik's books, for that matter, are well done.

The rest of the world knew not to intervene because hitler had advanced aircraft weaponry.He was already starting to cloak his craft. Meaning they were undetected.Plus they knew of the bombs.He recruited top scientist and engineers from around the globe.Which if they knew all of his motives would have never worked for hitler I think.this is of no relations to the Manhattan Project. This is just what they are telling you what the manhattan project was all about. atomic shit is maybe a percentage.

that scientist is the most powerful person this world has ever known by now. still alive!
