141 John W. Warner IV Porsche Tiger According to Oxford scholar, author, and historian Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, the Germans really were looking for vast quantities of thorium in Europe, Russia, and the Near Eastmuch more than they would need just for nuclear weapons development. Did the Germans use atomic weapons in secret? The simply massive numbers of casualties on the Russian Front during the war is a strong clue, for how did the Germans kill an official 27 million (some say an unofficial 30-34 million) combatants and civilians with conventional weapons? Yes, many troops and civilians died from disease and hunger, but its still a heart-breaking mystery we need to solve. I agree with Dr. Farrells theoretical postulation: Thorium was most likely used in free energy research and for the making of low-yield, crude nuclear weapons delivered by German ground vehicles, big railway guns, and perhaps dirty bomb barrage rockets that were used on the Russian Front.Thermobaric weapons were also probably implemented en masse using coal dust and fuel oil. Plentiful uranium was found in Silesia and the Sudetenland, so be advised the Germans had plenty. There is decent evidence to suggest that uranium was possibly purified at the LG. Farben Buna synthetic rubber plant near the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps due to Farbens very high consumption of electricity, and it is likely the Germans tested a small-yield atomic U-235 bomb in October 1944 on an island in the Baltic.
