A letter by Niels Bohr made public in the wake of discussions surrounding Michael Frayn's play "Copenhagen" has made it possible to nail down Heisenberg's position and velocity at last, and it turns out that his position was squarely in the Nazi camp, but he was very slow. The Nazis paid for the germanification of their science and promoting racially correct dullards like Heisenberg by being deprived of the A-bomb. I always say fascists can't think straight. Bohr's letter leaves no doubt as to why his former student came to visit him in Copenhagen: The Fuhrer wanted his bomb and Werner didn't have a clue how to make it. Otherwise, London would have been toast. Still, Heisenberg's student Edward Teller compensated somewhat for his mentor's lack of explosive force by inventing the H-bomb and the neutron bomb.
