United States and the USSR were allies during World War II. Or so they said. The truth is that the Soviet secret services had about a dozen spies working on the Manhattan Project . Ie they had almost real time information about scientific advances that were trying to develop the bomb.
George Koval (codename DELMAR) was in charge of controlling the radiation present in Los Alamos and had access to any agency. Was learned that U.S. spy in 2007, when Vladimir Putin awarded him posthumously. Ironic, right?
Seal honor of Morris Cohen (1910-1995)
Morris Cohen (known in England as Peter Kroger) was a volunteer in the English Civil War on the Republican side and was also part of the U.S. military in World War II. He was the liaison between Theodore Hall, a spy who worked at Los Alamos, and the secret services in Moscow. He settled in London in 1951 (where he continued spying on the British army) and was discovered and arrested.
In 1969 he was exchanged for a captured British spy in the USSR. If you have your face on a Russian label is because it was decorated for his "services."
David Greenglass (1922)
The case of David Greenglass is very particular. His sister was Ethel Rosenberg, yes, the Rosenberg, the most famous spies of the twentieth century. David (codename Kalibr) was a machinist at Los Alamos and part of the U.S. Army. Spent nuclear secrets to a Russian agent in NY, and say that when it was discovered accused his sister and her husband (who later were executed) to save his wife Ruth, a spy just like him. He served 10 years in prison.
Most effective: Klaus Fuchs (1911-1988)
Klaus Fuchs was a German physicist (British citizenship) a refugee in America. Its high theoretical level allowed to participate in the Manhattan Project as one of the leading scientists. Military has a patent remains secret and took some basic calculations to obtain the atomic detonation. His advances were sent regularly to the communist secret services were received with great satisfaction. was arrested in 1950 and served 9 years in prison. He settled in the former GDR and continued his scientific work.
And finally, here's a secret (because it's going to espionage): All this information can be found and developed in the Wikipedia. Use it!
Kraftwerk is a German electronic music band born in Düsseldorf in 1970. Its founding members, and still lead the group today, are Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They have been pioneers in many ways, but today we talk about an album released in 1975, entitled Radio-Activity (Radio-Aktivitäten German).

The album is a conceptual work on radioactivity, and the songs have titles unequivocal: Geiger Counter, Uranium, The Voice of Energy or insurmountable Radioactivity, a techno-pop song and naive about a science that would fit perfectly with the concept of the group: technology, energy and progress.

include words to exemplify the style of the Germans: simple text, almost telegraphic, with few verbs and adjectives:
Radioactivity
/ Is in the air for you and me Radioactivity
/ Discovered by Madame Curie
Radioactivity / Tune in to the melody
Radioactivity / Is in the air for you and me ...
