- The only correction was that it was the British who interviewed the
- Germans (Farmhall). The Americans only did the capture and had minimal
- contact. The Americans did find the elements of an incomplete pile,
- stockpiles of uranium, and tons of documents. Specific reference was made
- to Rhoades book, but in this case Sam Goudsmit's book on the Alsos Project
- would be better.
