00:00September 25, 1939, Heinrich Himmler gives his approval for Werner Heisenberg's role
00:06as leader of the Nazi atomic program. Investigated for over a year by the Gestapo,
00:11because of his friendships with foreign and Jewish physicists, Heisenberg is cleared of
00:16all charges and placed in charge of the research team. Nazism's low regard for atomic energy and
00:23the chronic lack of resources and funds, along with Allied sabotage, will prevent the Reich
00:28from obtaining the bond.
