Werner Czulius
Werner Czulius (* 1913; † 2008) was a German nuclear physicist who was involved in the German and later in the Soviet nuclear weapons program during the Second World War .
In the German uranium project he was part of Kurt Diebner's research group , which initially worked in Gottow (near Wünsdorf near Berlin ) and later in Stadtilm ( Thuringia ).
From 1945 to the mid-1950s he worked for the Soviet atomic bomb program.
In the dispute over Rainer Karlsch's book “Hitler's bomb” and the possibility of a German nuclear weapon, Czulius is cited as a contemporary witness and quoted as saying “that Germany was not in a position to build an atom bomb at the end of the world war”.
Werner Czulius took part in the RBB documentary "Mysterious Places - Wünsdorf" (first broadcast December 2005). In it he explained the experiments in Gottow at a historical location .
