I heard that the Nazis weren’t really interested in pursuing atomic weapons because they deemed it to be ‘Jewish science’
There are a lot more reasons why the Nazis never got the nuke, the “Jewish physics” thing is actually very low on the list especially since Werner Heisenberg himself was considered a “Jewish physicist” and he was the head of their nuclear research department. Jewish persecution had a big impact on their program though which shouldn’t be discounted nor substituted with a fringe theory that saw little actual backing by the Nazis.
Germany never got close to the nuke. Reports of dubious integrity by Italian fascists say they may have devised a “dirty bomb” (a device that spreads radioactive material everywhere but with no detonation) but nothing close to the fission bomb America developed. Japan was closer to the damn thing than Germany ever was according to what little we could get our hands on during Allied occupation after the war.

Interesting. Thanks for correcting me.

No problem. The Nazi nuclear program is, like most Nazi projects, a very hysterical farce in a lot of ways. From Hitler allegedly not funding the program because he barely understood the science (take this with a grain of salt, this was by admission of Albert Speer) to Heisenberg having made several horrible miscalculations bad enough that he pretended he had been sabotaging the nuclear program to save face.
Finally we have created the Torment Nexus from Don’t Create the Torment Nexus

It´ll stay available for purchase as part of the bundle, but it´s still a cunt move (and one I fully expected Sega/RGG to make).

I swear to god if the Splinter Cell remake gets canned (which after all this time I’m thoroughly expecting) I’m gonna be pissed.

It’s my belief Sam Fisher’s cameo in Ghost Recon Wildlands was supposed to be a teaser for the new Splinter Cell game they were working on at the time. Then they brought out Breakpoint with another ‘teaser’ and another attempt at making the game (or it was the same game they’d been working on). The plot seems to have been about a missing nuclear weapon
But now there’s no talk of that game(s), then they were talking about making a VR Splinter Cell, and now this remake. I think it’s gunna be a non-starter
