18th June 1936
With the worsening political situation in Europe three groups of jewish scientists who worked for IG FARBEN take their research on nuclear fission and their families to Britain. Included in the research from IG FARBEN is the German designs on something that IG FARBEN call the gaseous centrifuge and the feasibility study done by FARBEN for uranium detonation in a military application.
3rd July 1936
When the scientists arrive in Britain they are met by a group of people including Sir James Chadwick, Mark Oliphant, Otto Frisch and Rudolph Peierls. When the scientists sit down they explain everything they have brought with them including the feasibility study done by IG FARBEN. The group come to a startlingly conclusion that the Nazis have begun work on a military application of uranium.
George Thompson and William Bragg who are at the meeting mention to Mark Oliphant that the government must keep as much uranium ore out of the Nazis hands. The head of the committee for Imperial Defence general Hastings Ismay is told about the feasibility study and asks if it's possible for Britain to get there before the NAZIS.
