Hitler's Last U-Boat

Close to the end of Word War II, Hitler sent a U-boat to Japan loaded with all of Germany’s latest technology. They disembled the ME-262 and put it in the cargo hold along with Germany’s Uranium 235. When the boat was halfway to Japan, Germany surrendered. The U-boat crew voted to turn the boat over to the Americans. When the U-boat arrived in New York in May of 1945, the cargo was turned over to Robert Oppenhaimer of the (Manhattan Project), where the Uraunium 235 was used in the bomb they dropped on Japan.
