S1 E23:
At the start of WWII, the race had begun between the Nazis and the Allies to be the first to create an atomic weapon. By teaming up with the Japanese, Hitler planned to launch an atomic attack on San Francisco on August 17, 1945. But on August 6, an American Superfortress dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and the war ended shortly after. We reveal shocking footage that demonstrates just how close the Nazis came to creating an atomic bomb and how close the US came to nuclear catastrophe.
