A few years ago, in my World History class, the teacher proposed a question for the class:
"If Hitler had the Atomic Bomb first, which city would he bomb."
Now, of course most people said London. Which would have probable been a logical choice.
But the question hasn't left my mind.
A few years later, I started thinking about the question. It dawned on me that the largest effective bomber that Hitler had in the Luftwaffe was the Heinkel He111, a two engined bomber. My thoughts are, could Hitler, had he developed the atomic bomb first, had the ability to even lift it off the ground?
An answer to the question could be, could the Fokker 4-engined aircraft that was used on reconnasance (sp) missions over the Atlantic have carried it? I'm thinking not. but, I could be wrong, that's why I'm asking.
If anyone could shed any light as to whether I'm right or not, i'd appreciate it.
