Does anyone remember the Manhattan Project? Ok, Remember Oak Ridge.

The site that covered 60,000 acres employed tens of thousands and used
1/6th the United States electrical output to run the site. All to produce Uranium-235. Yet the super Nazi's with a "bell" approximately 9 feet wide and 12 to 15 feet high. Were managing to get the job done. First it was "Red Mercury" then Anti-Gravity and now they were enriching Uranium. What next?
Thorium deposits were mined quite close to the Reise tunnel complex at Wüstegiersdorf (now Gluzyca). 120 Danish and Norwegian nuclear scientists were employed at the site and 63 are said to have been executed by the SS at the end of the war to keep secret the research conducted there. One secret project at the complex relates to a new fighter plane called the V-7.

The nazis had a nuclear weapons program, along with apparently far superior weapons than the allies.
Is the consensus within this thread still the allies won, or are we revising that also to fit the considered opinions of those expressed here.
Point III. What was the state of German theory of the chain reaction? (rhetorical question)
Answer (C) Generally we would say their approach was in no wise inferior to ours; in some respects it was superior.

Well Spoonz I don't make claims about Red mercury. Joseph Farrell does. I didn't claim it was anything to do with anti gravity. Obergruppenfuhrer Jakob Sporrenberg told his soviet interrogators that 1950/51 before they executed him.
I'd be happy to explain the nuclear physics Spoonz but you probably wouldn't understand.

Germany was on the verge of winning WW2 by mid 1944 but two things happened:
Hitler was seriously injured by a bomb in his inner sanctum at the Wolfschanz. Churchill was so convinced the a German nuclear attack on England was imminent that he threatened to unleash Anthrax on Germany.
A few days later on 5 August 1944 Hitler confided in Roumania's leader Marschal Antonescu that although Germany had a revolutionary new explosive capable of destroying everything within a 3-4 km radius of the point of impact, he would not unleash it until Germany had an antidote to it's use by Germany's enemies.
In fact Germany was mass producing Tabun-B nerve gas near Breslau from August 1943. A prisoner of Gross Rosen revealed after the war that prototypes of the V-1 and V-2 with nerve gas warheads were being developed in a factory at Breslau. After the war General Walther Dornberger revealed during internment that Hitler hinted at using the V-2 with more than just two tons of explosive.
Thankfully Germany suffered shortages of strategic raw materials for it's weapons and a grave shortage of aviation grade fuels. Had Hitler had the courage in July-August 1944 to deploy nerve gas against England by V-1 or V-2. Had Hitler had the nerve to continue production of the He-277 bomber or to use tactical nukes which the Japanese referred to, then the tide of war may well have turned.
The fact is USA also threatened in July 1944 to attack Dresden with an A-bomb unless Hitler sued for peace. It is worth noting that the nuclear attack on Dresden was planned and only withdrawn in October 1944. There were negotiations in Lisbon which evolved into Operation Sunrise.
These talks are the deepest secrets of WW2.
Highly unlikely, it would have resulted in the mass gassing of German cities and it still wouldn't have stopped the Russian steamroller.

This supposed threat was made by who to who? So even before the Allies knew they could build a working fission weapon, they were somehow threatening Germany with it?

And you have knowledge of these incredibly secret talks how?

This is just hearsay, which has been repeated enough times some people accept it as fact.
