    There is no small amount of controversy of Heisenberg...

    Not really. Heisenberg and other Germans knew the potential but the
    purity required would be far beyond anything Germany could do. So they
    were lackadaisically pursuing electricity generation to reduce coal dependence.

    Heisy was fully supportive of the nazi cause. It's not just
    atomics. After the war he "flavored" his past on weapons
    research. Then there's the "uranium burner" as a power source
    with potential application for subs.
