Japan's Atomic bomb

Interesting documentry, but the part about the atomic test seems rather implausible for the reasons RR states. Certainly, radioactive debris would still be around to betray the event.

Another thing in the program bothers me. Although it is a minor point, they say a German U-boat was at sea to deliver the uranium ore to Japan, and the US beat the Canadians to it (fairly or otherwise), near Portsmouth, NH. But wouldn't a U-boat going from Kiel to Japan go south around South Africa and east, toward the India Ocean? Why on earth, would it be anywhere near Canada?

This makes no sense to me.
