John, I do not know, probably not, if I knew the consequences. Many of the scientists that were drafted to do the development, on both sides, were also against it. In war time the people have few choices. Maybe even some politician would be against the development, but they could not grasp was the result would be. However, it was better that the Americans was first, Nazi Germany under Hitler was not far behind, delayed a little bit by the destruction of the heavy water production plant in Norway. It is clear that US understood what was going on and had to be first, otherwise Europe might have been Germany now and US a radioactive desert. It is no doubt that Germany was far ahead on the rocket missile development and it was the same people that later help US to be the leading nation in space and missile technology. They were moved to US and fast tracked to be US citizens.
