Spies of War - The A-Bomb Spies | Full Documentary

Ойын-сауық

August 29th, 1949: four years after the U.S. drops the first atomic bomb, the Soviets drop one. No one expected it so soon. Behind the scenes of this major event of the cold war, the Soviets developed one of the biggest networks of moles of the century. In this episode of “Spies of War”, you will discover how and why brilliant scientists divulged the secrets of the atomic bomb to the sworn enemy of the U.S, and how U.S. counter-intelligence services cracked their codes to expose the leaks.

    The code breakers of the past always astound me just in the fact there wasn’t a computer to highlight lines of code that match they are seeing and finding copies. All those numbers would just blur into 1 giant number to me

    The British used a term "tanks" for armoured weaponry, the Germans called their heavy artillery types "Geräte" like a device. History is an epic portrait of greed full of double-meaning words and sentences.

    The Soviets in the 20s and 30s created a network of agents in the environment of (future) nuclear physicists, so in the beginning of the 40s Stalin was fully aware of potential power of atom.
