Came across this interesting film on You Tube on how nearly it could have been the RAF that dropped the A Bombs on Japan.

Before American entered WW2, Britain was the secret world leader on nuclear fission. Go to Wiki and enter Tube alloys. It is believed that one of the reasons Hitler didn't invade the UK was that Churchill passed to Hitler through the neutral Portuguese embassy that if he invaded southern England, Operation Sealion, Churchill would have dropped two very crude A Bombs on Frankfurt & Dusseldorf. Britain moved her bomb production to Los Alamos to put it out of the Nazi's reach.

Your second paragraph strikes me as being far from reality, perhaps definable as codswallop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project

Did you even bother to stick "tube alloy" on to Wiki and see what you came up with? Rather than be unnecessarily rude you could have checked Clive's statement out, easily enough.
