But this is is only one small part of a much wider sinister story
One of the submarines had been carrying very interesting cargo to Japan that was still fighting in World War Two.
Quote:
“U-234 arrived in Portsmouth at 7:30 am on Saturday, May 19, greeted by swarms of journalists. It was the biggest prize of all the Nazi U-boats, and the high-ranking officers aboard made it a major news story.
The submarine was found to carry a disassembled Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter, prototypes, technical documents describing new weapons and several senior weapons technicians. The two Japanese scientists were not on board. They had committed suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills and were buried at sea.
What wasn’t revealed at the time was that U-234’s cargo included 1,232 lbs. of uranium oxide, thought to have been taken from the submarine at Portsmouth. It was later used in the Manhattan Project for the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.”
In other words it seems as though that in the final days before the collapse of Nazi Germany the Germans and the Japanese had come to an arrangement whereby Germany’s then expertise with nuclear technology was to be passed on to Japan in order for Japan to continue to be able to prosecute the war against the allies, and perhaps still win.
