But the Germans were no where
near building a reactor, much less a bomb. Thus the choice of moderator
was inconsequential.

Germans had not one but two graphite moderated reactors and one of them was
in
Thuringer Forest,if Germans had no working reactor Hirosima and Nagazaki
could
not be bombed anytime in 1945.
Did you ever wonder why the entries made to log book of 89.th Infantry
div.between 4;8. 45 1,35 PM and 4.11.45 7,35 PM are also among document that
were classified for 75 years?.


Where did you get that idea?

Are you suggesting the U.S. had not developed uranium and plutonium enrichment
facilities prior to May 1945?

Are you suggesting the U.S. had not built any form of reactor or pile prior to
May 1945?

The Little Boy bomb and Trinity were just waiting for uranium and plutonium
respectively.
