Kind of wild that Werner Heisenberg was the principal scientist of Hitler's nuclear weapon development program during the war and then pretty much immediately after the war transitioned into a a civilian role, becoming the director of the Max Planck institute. Also, from his wikipedia article: From 24 January to 4 February 1944, Heisenberg travelled to occupied Copenhagen, after the German army confiscated Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics. He made a short return trip in April. In December, Heisenberg lectured in neutral Switzerland. The United States Office of Strategic Services sent agent Moe Berg to attend the lecture carrying a pistol, with orders to shoot Heisenberg if his lecture indicated that Germany was close to completing an atomic bomb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Heisenberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Heisenberg
