Critical Mass: How Nazi Germany Surrendered Enriched Uranium for the
United States’ Atomic Bomb by Carter Plymton Hydrick
On May 19, 1945, eleven days after the surrender of Nazi
Germany in Europe, a U-boat was escorted into Portsmouth Naval Yard, New
Hampshire. News reporters covering the surrender of U-234 were ordered,
contrary to all previous and later U-boat surrender procedures, to keep their
distance from crew members and passengers of U-234, on threat of being shot by
the attending Marine guards. Why the tight security? Buried in the nose of the
specially-built mammoth boat, sealed in cylinders “lined with gold,” was 1,120
pounds of enriched uranium labeled “U235”the fissile material from which atom
bombs are made. Critical Mass documents how these Nazi bomb components
were then used by the Manhattan Project to complete both the uranium bomb
dropped on Hiroshima and the plutonium bomb dropped on Nagasaki, to defeat the
Japanese and win World War Two and global domination in the modern age.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Compelling . . . as gripping as good
fiction. Hydrick's book is important history well written." —Tony
Hillerman, New York Times Best Selling author,
Retired Journalism Professor, Decorated Hero of D-Day and the Italian Front
“It was not a rubber plant. You can
bet your bottom dollar on that!" —Ed Landry, President and General
Manager, Keystone Polymers, Inc.
"Reads like a gripping drama . .
. . This book marks a turning point in the history of atomic-bomb scholarship,
and no future study can credibly ignore its compelling contentions . . . . A
genuinely original book about a profoundly important topic." — The
Kirkus Reviews
“This is a fascinating book . . .
with excellent primary source research." —Joe Sills, Former United Nations
spokesperson
“The assertion in Critical Mass that the uranium
surrendered to U.S. authorities onboard the German submarine U-234 was enriched
U-235 [enriched uranium] is certainly a credible conclusion in view of the
storage, containment and prevailing shipping conditions." —Dr. Gary
Sandquist, Instructor, Nuclear Engineering, United States Military Academy,
West Point
"Critical
Mass brings to the surface defining new information, long hidden
within archives, about the birth of the Atomic Bomb . . . . Should be in every
library." —D. Ray Smith Oak Ridge Y-12 (uranium enrichment facility)
Historian
"Important new information about
the race for the atomic bomb . . . . Hydrick’s well-written account provides
lucid understanding of hitherto unknown and important aspects of the birth of
the Nuclear Age." —Dr. Anthony Stranges, Associate Professor, Modern
Military Science and Technology, Texas A&M University
“Well-researched, well-reasoned,
well-written . . . . Deserves a careful reading and to be taken seriously by
both scholars and laymen alike." —Dr. Douglas F. Tobler, Professor
Emeritus, Modern German History, Brigham Young University
“A coherent and well researched
history of events that have been covered up for half a centuryexciting and
revealing!" —Otis Maclay, Pacifica
Radio Host
“The best primary source research I
have seen in a long, long time." —Gordon Fowkes, Lt. Colonel, US Army
(Ret), University of Houston Military History Symposium
“I find it difficult to believe the
traditional explanation that the Germans spent four fruitless years trying to
bring a rubber plant on line, the technology for which they had previously developed,
proven and used. I also cannot comprehend, nor do I believe, a buna (rubber)
plant of that time period consumed as much power as the eighth-largest city in
the world (Berlinas stated by directors of the plant).” —George M. Ladzun,
(Ret.) Director, Process Development, Zeon Chemicals; Manager, Two Synthetic
Rubber (buna) Plants, Zeon Chemical
“I don’t know much about making buna,
synthetic rubber, but I know the electrical consumption that I.G. Farben’s
directors described at their buna plant at Auschwitz is very much in line with
the huge electrical requirements for developing magnetically enriched uranium .
. . . Certainly leads the experienced physicist to believe." —Dr. Delmar
Bergen, retired Director, Weapons Program Office, Los Alamos National
Laboratory

The
Book That's Exploding Atomic Bomb History—TrineDay’s 2016 Release, Critical
Mass
As
the tragic 72nd Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki approach, Critical Mass
is a must read, to discover the true story.
Walterville, OR (PRWEB) July 27, 2017
Europe’s largest newspaper,
Bild, and the United Kingdom’s leading online news site, The Daily Mail OnLine,
both ran feature articles in the last two weeks about Carter Hydrick’s
non-fiction page turner Critical Mass: How Nazi Germany Surrendered Enriched
Uranium for the United States’ Atomic Bomb. Comments from readers of the
articles are saying, as the articles suggest, that the history of the making of
the first nuclear weapons and the birth of the Nuclear Age is being profoundly
rewritten.

Bild and The Daily Mail
aren’t the only organizations—or experts—pushing the new history for
consideration.
Critical Mass "reads like a gripping drama . . . . This book
marks a turning point in the history of atomic-bomb scholarship, and no future
study can credibly ignore its compelling contentions . . . . A genuinely
original book about a profoundly important topic," says the Kirkus Book
Reviews
Dr. Delmar Bergen, retired
director of the Nuclear Weapons Program at Los Alamos National Laboratory,
where the world’s first atom bombs were designed, has gone on record stating
the Manhattan Project, counter to what has been believed for the past 70 years,
did not alone create the first nuclear weapons dropped on Japan to end World
War Two. Bergen not only endorses Hydrick’s history, he wrote the forward to
the third edition. Critical Mass, “certainly leads the experienced physicist to
believe,” says Bergen.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s on-site historian D. Ray Smith has
joined the chorus, as well, of those calling for the history to be overhauled.
"Critical Mass brings to the surface defining new information, long hidden
within archives, about the birth of the Atomic Bomb. [It] should be in every
library," he asserts.
Courageous academicians are joining the fray, too.
"Critical Mass offers the scholar of modern history and the
World War Two history buff important new information about the race for the atomic
bomb. Its conclusions, based on primary sources, that the Manhattan Project
used atomic bomb components received from Nazi Germany in the bombs dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, appear plausible and logical. Hydrick’s well-written
account provides lucid understanding of hitherto unknown and important aspects
of the birth of the Nuclear Age,” insists Dr. Anthony Stranges, associate
professor of modern military science and technology at Texas A&M
University.
He is joined by professor emeritus of modern German history, Dr.
Douglas Tobler. "This book is a well-researched, well-reasoned,
well-written persuasive argument for a revised interpretation of an important,
perhaps even critical, chapter in our modern history. It deserves a careful
reading and to be taken seriously by both scholars and laymen alike."
About the Author: Researcher and writer Carter Plymton Hydrick is
considered by many the leading expert on the history of surrendered U-boat
U-234 and its cargo of enriched uranium, which he tracked into the Manhattan
Project and the Hiroshima bomb. He has served as director of corporate
communications for a Fortune 500 company, and as global marketing programs
manager for one of the largest computer companies in the world. He makes his home near Houston,
Texas with his wife Kris. They are the parents of four and grandparents of
fifteen at this printing.
Explains why there was a quid pro quo. We allow certain Nazis to escape to Argentina, you give us your enriched uranium. Probably organized by Allen Dulles in Switzerland.
