    The only reason “civilian” nuclear power exists is as a fig leaf for nuclear armament.

    I don’t think post war Germany had the delusion of their own nukes. Here the nuclear industry just exists to shuffle public money into private pockets.

      Franz-Josef very much wanted Germany to have the bomb. While the German nuclear program was ostensibly always civilian, they absolutely wanted to keep the option open.
