[ RadSafe ] D-Day the 6th of June, 1944

[Roger Helbig]

The Germans had a nuclear research program and operating pile (reactor) in
a tunnel near Haigerloch in southern Germany that was discovered by US
forces on April 24, 1945.  There also was a large laboratory in a knitting
mill in nearby Hechingen.  I am in process of reading documents from
microfilms that I found last week at UC Berkeley while looking for the
actual documents used to create the forged 1943 Memo to General Groves that
is widely used by members of the anti-DU jihad who fail to note that this
memorandum makes no mention of "uranium" and is actually about the possible
use of fission products as a radiological weapon.  That is why the memo
discusses potential serious medical consequences and even death due to
radiation sickness. The report of the "pile" and laboratory are in a 1946
report of an April 1945 trip to Germany by this officer.  These documents
are under a sub-file with title of something like French Zone of Occupation
(as these sites were in proposed French Zone) after Roll 1 Target 7 File 6
Use of Fissionable Materials in European War on Microfilm 78654 United
States, Army, Corps of Engineers, Corrspondence ("top secret") of the
Manhattan Engineer District 1942-1946 Reel 1 News.  They are at about Frame
0700 of this microfilm reel.  I did not note the exact frame, but will do
so when I revisit the library perhaps next week.
