Synopsis

In the final months of WW2, how close were the Nazis and Japan to creating the nuclear explosion that would win the war? Did Nazi uranium make it to Japan in the final hours on WW2? Were the Axis powers closer to a bomb than we think? In this tension-filled documentary, drama unfolds as experts shed new light on the hardships and challenges of a war-torn, pre-nuclear world. With startling new information about Japan, Germany and the US, Hitler's Secret Bomb reshapes a relevant, critical moment in time that changed everything. Japan was developing tools to create the world’s first atomic bomb but lacked the raw material. Germany had tools and uranium, but as they moved closer to defeat, their efforts shifted to Japan. America also had tools and material but figuring out how to build the bomb was a nail-biting three-way chess game where each side had tremendous plans —and hurdles.
