      Sure, but building a reactor alone is not evidence of a nuclear weapons program.

      To be clear comrade we don't really disagree - I said I don't blame the scientists. I think they were generally acting in good faith to prevent the Nazis from having an ultimate weapon that could not be countered. These scientists didn't drop a bomb on Japanese civilians.

        in the 1940s, with nazis at the helm? it was a weapons program.

        no hard feelings i just like to stress to people about ww2 especially how different perceptions and available facts could be during historical events and how the current historical perspective and narrative can be different but only because of hindsight and access to more information. it is impossible to banish the fact that we know some things people at the time didn't, but its important to appreciate they didn't.

          I guess I'm not really sure what I said that you're disagreeing with.

            i was just explaining why the allies were reasonable in the view the nazis had a nuclear weapons program, even though "the Nazis weren’t really building a bomb" is true.

            im going to sneak an lmao onto the end of my second comment on second reading that came off as combative instead of 'get a load of these guys'
