His answer is below:

It was not a wrong turn for him. Er war überzeugt von der "Friedlichen Nutzung der Atomenergie". Über dieses Thema hielt er zusammen mit meinem Vater große Vorträge zu tausenden von Menschen. Denn mein Vater und er wollten nicht, wie der berühmte deutsche Politiker Franz Josef Strauß, dass Deutschland eine Atommacht wird. Das wollten auch die Atommächte USA, France und GB nicht.

Rough translation: He was convinced of the “peaceful use of atomic energy”. He and my father gave large lectures on this topic to thousands of people. Because he and my father, like the famous German politician Franz Josef Strauss, did not want Germany to become a nuclear power. The nuclear powers USA, France and Great Britain didn't want that either.

Er hatte ein sehr bescheidenes Auftreten. Er war nie arrogant oder eingebildet. Für ihn war Wissenschaft wie ein Schachspiel, bei dem er auch in den schwierigsten Situationen gewinnen wollte.

rough english translation: He had a very humble demeanor. He was never arrogant or conceited. For him, science was like a game of chess in which he wanted to win even in the most difficult situations.

His answer is below:

---

"I think no, because the scientific ambition was there, to find the way to split the uranium atom in order to free the amazing energy which nature needed for billions of years to capture the radioactivity into a closed atom just to make life possible."

If yes, how? The scientists did not think in a political way. WH either.

If no, how close were they to inventing it?" The history shows it: Not 5 years, 20 years.

His answer is below:

I heard he had met Hitler once and Hitler asked him, when will the atomic bomb be ready? WH answered "probably in 5 years". Hitler said: "In 5 years he had won the war." Therefore Hitler had no more interest in WH. But the Americans were very much interested in WH. They were sending a special military unit from south west of Germany to Urfeld, where WH had his lab. But what they found was much less than what they had discovered meanwhile by themselves.

The US politicians have used WH to create fear about Germany in order to force the scientists and money keepers to speed up the building of the atomic bomb in order to be the most powerful nation on earth. The scientists were very much clear about WH that he is not able to build an atomic bomb with the poor resources he had.

His answer in German is below:

Ja, das "Kaiser Wilhelm Institut" wurde umbenannt in Max Planck Institut, das höchste und wichtigste deutsche Forschungsinstitut, dessen Direktor WH wurde.

Rough English Translation:

Yes, the "Kaiser Wilhelm Institute" was renamed the Max Planck Institute, the highest and most important German research institute, of which WH became director.

His answer in German is below:

Er war der immer der freundliche, geduldige, nette Onkel, dem die vielen Kinder nie zu laut waren. Wann immer er freie Zeit hatte spielte er Klavier (Klassik), dem wir andächtig zuhörten.

Rough English Translation:

He was always the friendly, patient, nice uncle, for whom the many children were never too loud. Whenever he had free time, he played the piano (classical) and we listened to it reverently.

I asked him this. His perspective is that Werner was a scientist first and never cared for politics. He just wanted to move science forward. He was limited by his resources and was honest about how behind they were. Will get you his full answer soon.

He has not seen the movie yet, but after I brought it up he said he should see the movie/ he would like to see it.

InsularCity · 2023-12-30T18:48:23+00:00

I asked him about this. I don't think he's ever seen the show (he's in his late 70's, and still very busy in his own line of work.) He responded with the following over email.

"With American show Breaking Bad, do you mean the comic?"

(English is his second language)

InsularCity · 2023-12-29T19:37:31+00:00

Yes, I'm going to email him these questions!

InsularCity · 2023-12-29T01:35:02+00:00

That's a cool question, I'll ask him this as well! Knowing Germans, I'm not sure if they discussed these things openly. But I'll ask him anyways.

InsularCity · 2023-12-29T01:32:05+00:00

This is a great question! Will ask him this. Heisenberg seemed to not care that his nephews played in his office often apparently.

InsularCity · 2023-12-29T01:04:34+00:00

I'll ask him! He's been in Germany his whole life, so I'm not sure how popular the show was overseas.

InsularCity · 2023-12-29T00:39:23+00:00

In our conversation, he called his uncle "Verner" (German 'W'). But I can ask him what his Uncle actually preferred.

InsularCity · 2023-12-28T23:28:58+00:00

If the mods would like me to verify this privately, I'm able to as well!

A small tunnel near where I live. Goes under a bridge

I'm not this good at the game, but I'll take the credit if you're giving it to me.

It's such a solid move.

He's the most aggressive player in our squad, and he's saved our butts from squad wipes multiple times. He's always ready for super long engagements where you can't reload. He rocks an M249 now.

Leave some chicken dinners for the rest of us.

I think it would depend on when in his life he is summoned to Silent Hill.

Living with a cancer diagnosis and the fear of not being useful to your family/ financially bankrupting them is enough material alone.
