Oppenheimer vs Heisenberg

This episode stars two of the most eminent scholars of nuclear history, Alex Wellerstein and Richard Rhodes himself, but their brief appearances are the only good thing about it. The rest is a collection of very few actual facts and a lot of dumb clichés in the usual History Channel vein plus some embarrassing German (and American!) accents. No mention is made of the fact that almost all of the top scientists of the Manhattan Project were immigrants, or that they were in it mainly to fight the Nazis with their antisemitism and their Holocaust on the Jews of Europe.

Another 40 minutes of my life gone that I will never ever get back. Utterly skipable.
