Did you know... that at the end of
World War II, ten German nuclear scientists were detained and
wiretapped at a house in England as part of Operation Epsilon in order to determine how close the Nazis had come to building an
atomic bomb?

More information on the exact context of the detention, the participants, the location etc would be interesting, before diving into what was found. On what pretext were the scientists brought there? Some sources for the claim that "most historians" believe that Heisenberg's comment was fake would be useful too.
