Their private conversations were taped, and the transcripts have been published. These make it clear that neither Hahn nor Heisenberg were avid Nazis and that they were both shocked to learn that the US had produced a successful bomb - -- they had thought that their incarceration was to use them to make bombs for use against the Soviet Union. >> Intelligence people thought that they knew they were being taped and performed accordingly.
