Presentation and book by Dr Todd Rider which threatens to rewrite history

Posted: 16th February 2025

A friend pointed me to have a look at an offshoot of MIT called the Todd Rider Institute which, amongst other things, has presented extensive documents from the declassified US archives on the Nazi nuclear weapons programme and the Manhattan project.

Todd’s 2024 book, ‘Forgotten Creators’ is big.,a 1.5 gigabite file available for free download here

His research indicates that the Nazis had already designed and were beginning to develop an implosion type atomic bomb in 1934. That’s 11 years before the official history tells us. A German and Hungarian physisist are supposed to have come up with the first a-bomb design theory early in 1940 in Birmingham. Dr Rider’s arcive evidence questions this version of events.
Clearly this is highly charged politically since it implies German atomic weapons were used as a ‘bargaining chip’ as the historical record tells the Nazi gold was, at the end of WWII.

This is the third time I have come across evidence that the Nazis did indeed conduct an a-bomb test in 1944, specifically at Luneberg Heath.

Firstly an interview I did with Manfred Petritsch, the son of a Nazi scientist

Then the Daily Express and others published this story about newly released intelligence reports around the same time

2. Secret documents reveal Germans tested nuclear bomb in 1944 as doodlebugs pounded London
DOCUMENTS unearthed in an American archive suggest that Nazi Germany may have tested an operational nuclear bomb before the end of the Second World War.

Finally Todd Rider’s documents appear to confirm this.

and also in his book.

The question is… what do we do about this because it raises all sorts of difficult questions such as was this all related to Wall Street’s funding of the Nazis in the mid 1930s?

Do feel free to discuss this with me if you wish and to forward this info for further discussion.

Kind regards
