Post 7 mason saunders

October 11th, 1939. Albert Einstein sent a letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt detailing the plans of the Nazi party to construct weapons of mass destruction. Nuclear fission is the process of splitting an atom to create energy and the Germans sought to harness its power for the worse. This initiated the Manhattan project and the rest is history. If not for Einstein's correct predictions and superior intellect, the Germans could have succeeded in the creation of a nuclear warheads and the world we know today, would not exist. In the hands of discriminatory maniacs, a powerful (weak compared to now-a-days) missile could wipe the population of an entire city and significantly weaken surrounding rural populations. They could have crushed the Allied Powers unter thei r radioactive boot and entire races could have been extinguished by the fire. I would have to say I appreciate this event because I enjoy living in peace and prosperity and without Einsteins forethoughts, the Germans would have followed through
