The Birth of Television

Ed Jewett Wrote:Peter, do you have sources on U-234 (shouldn't it have been the U-238?!)? Links? Books? Sounds like an interesting read.

One of the true coincidences in life is the name of the U-boat [not renamed, but perhaps chosen for its mission - it was one of the Nazis latest, best and newest...they were consecutively numbered]. U-234 was the sub. U-238 is the 'stuff'.....odd.

Best book, I think, is: Critical Mass: How Nazi Germany Surrendered Enriched Uranium for the US Atom Bomb – Hydrick (Whitehurst & Co. $29.95). There are two new books out on the subject which I've not read, but get the feeling they are likely intel 're-writing' of Hydrick's book. NB - Hydrick made two editions - get the newer one, not sure of the date, but the revised is the one to get! Great book!

The other two [I won't vouch for] are: "Germany's Last Mission to Japan: The Failed Voyage of U-234" by Joseph M. Scalia
"The Last Great Secret of the Third Reich: The True Story of a U-Boat Commander Who Defied the Orders of His Nazi Leaders and Changed the Course of modern civilization" by Arthur O. Naujoks & Lee Nelson
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws. - Mayer Rothschild
"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience! People are obedient in the face of poverty, starvation, stupidity, war, and cruelty. Our problem is that grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem!" - Howard Zinn
"If there is no struggle there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will" - Frederick Douglass
