Birth of the Atomic Bomb-Statements from Churchill, Truman, Pash etc. German Alsos

The original story of the Atomic bomb, its invention and deployment. The chronicle of its manufacture, its use against Japan and how it was installed in the Boeing B-29 Superfortress in "Silverplate." These are the first published statements by the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States in August 1945. "The British deserve much of the credit for the Atomic Bomb—their research was way ahead of ours when the project was turned over to the United States to develop because our laboratories and manufacturing facilities were out of range of bombing and it was the Prime Minister who sold the idea of pushing the project to both the British and United States Governments." W.

The book explains what Silverplate, Chickenpox etc. in terms of atomic weapons deployment. The restored documents are:- 1.

7. Statement on the Bombing of Japan by Henry Stimson. 8.

Silverplate - the development of the Atom bomb carrying B-29 Superfortress, their fate and deployment. The word Silverplate refers to the modifications of the Superfortress to carry the atomic bomb. 9.

ALSOS Mission - the inspection of the Nazi Germany capability to produce atomic weapons and the mythological work of Heisenberg and Nazi ideology. Includes drawings of the proposed German Atomic Bomb. 10.

12. Statement by J.R. Oppenheimer - on the deployment of British Scientists on the Manhattan Project.

There are fresh details of British scientists working on the Atomic Bomb project at Los Alamos by Oppenheimer including Groves and Chadwick. The Alsos chapter includes details of Joliet Currie, Heisenberg and the German scientists which are rarely published. The official conclusion of this chapter is that the Nazis could never have produced an Atomic Bomb and prepares the reader for the post-war propaganda that the German scientists tried to delay the Bomb's production or that one was in preparation for use.

From these statements it can be deduced that the first uranium bomb, dropped in August 1945 was based on the British M.A.U.D. technology. The Statements are from Harry Truman, United States, Winston S.

Churchill (for the first time published in its entirety since 1945 "Statements Relating to the Atomic Bomb"), United Kingdom and C.D. Howe for Canada. There are scientist lists and details of Fat Man and Little Boy Atomic Bombs.

These documents are of great historical value since neither nation repeated their publication on the birth of the bomb. These are the source documents for all atomic bomb publications and were part of "Sonic to Standoff" which can be found in EBay.co.uk. 1945 Statements on the Atomic Bomb presents all the Allied documents co-ordinated in one volume and is highly recommended.
