Nonsense.

The nonsense written in this string is truly amazing, but I guess par for the course when one considers how much nonsense has been published about the 3rd Reich. Where to begin?
Lets take the uranium cargo on U-234. Assuming it was carrying uranium at all, it must have been natural uranium since Germany never produced any enriched uranium. If they had, they would have had the bomb.
The implosion device for Fat Man including the trigger was developed at Los Alamos.
Infra red technology has very little, if anything, to do with making atomic bombs go off.
The woman pilot was Hanna Reitsch and she did fly one of the last planes out of Berlin, but Hitler or Bormann were NOT on board.
How the Lucy spy ring, Wurther and Werner Heisenberg all got mixed up is really amazing. There are a bunch of facts being ascribed to the wrong people. Heisenberg was the top German physicist and he did effectively prevent Hitler from getting the bomb by misleading the Nazis about the technology. The details make a rather long post and get quite technical. Heisenberg was never on a U-boat bound for Japan. If Heisenberg ever set foot in the Reichskanzlei, it was as a visitor. Heisenberg was certainly not Wurther. Bormann could have been Wurter, but it is far from proven. What is known is there was a lot of treason in the 3rd Reich.
