LPOTL - The Manhattan Project

This week the boys return to the world of dark history with the introduction to one of the most devastatingly deadly killers in human history... It's time for The Manhattan Project and the creation of the Atom Bomb.

The boys pick back up on the story of The Manhattan Project, this week focusing on Oppenheimer's "Atomic Dream Team", the development of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the United States' unrelenting efforts (and gruesome mishaps) in weaponizing nuclear technology.

Continuing the story of The Manhattan Project, this week the boys shift their focus from Oppenheimer to the rest of The Bastard Brigade, The Alsos Mission, and the bizarre occult experiments discovered behind enemy lines during the race for atomic dominance.

In episode four of our series, World War II is in full effect as the boys recount the brutal Battle of Iwo Jima and Robert Oppenheimer takes The Manhattan Project one step closer to its final phase with The Trinity Experiment.

This week... it's time for the sloughing. In part five of our series on The Manhattan Project, the boys reach the catastrophic moment that changed history forever with the bombing of Hiroshima and the immediate, nightmarish effects it had on the unfortunate victims.

This week to conclude the story of The Manhattan Project, we pick back up with the surrender of Japan, the harrowing long term consequences the bombings left on it's victims, and how it all connects back to a mysterious crash in Roswell, New Mexico in the summer 1947.
