The Abwehr discovers that the American Air Force is working on a secret weapon known as “Fat Man”.
Goring swears his Luftwaffe will have a “Fat Man” before the USAAC or he will retire from the Luftwaffe and politics. The story is widely covered by the German media.
Having no idea what the American “Fat Man” is, the Germans simply work on a bigger bomb but face unexpected problems actually manufacturing anything beyond a 4,000 pounder.
This is not sufficient to qualify as a “Fat Man” bomb and Goerings political enemies, especially Himmler, push to get him sacked, based on his earlier boasts. Faced with no alternative, Goering decides to create a “Fat Man” for his Luftwaffe by grossly overeating.
A monstrously fat Goering appears at the next party summit, quieting once and for all the suggestions that he failed to provide the Luftwaffe with a “Fat Man”.
