Reds Produce 44 Atom Bombs
The Russians have produced enough uranium in East Germany since the war to make 44 atomic bombs, a West German survey said. German scientists estimate this could destroy or cripple every major city in the United States or West Europe. Uranium was mined in areas controlled by the United States Army after World War II and later turned over to Soviet occupation. East German uranium miners formerly faced forced labor, but conditions have improved and desertions to the West have declined as recruitment remains strong.
