Vannevar Bush was in charge of US war technology in WW II. He was overlord of the Manhattan Project, making the A bomb. He was also in charge of radar development, a crucial technology of WW II. He had a long history helping run Raytheon, who made most of the US's radar tubes .

The heater in microwave ovens is the radar tube, developed for radar. In WW II, the US nuclear program was more important than radar, and radar scientists got re-assigned to nuclear. Microwave ovens were first called radar ranges, and microwaving food is still called nuking it.

Hitler considered radar more important than nuclear. There were as many as 3 different simultaneous nuclear programs in WW II Germany. Abraham Esau headed an important one. Then he headed the radar program, having previously done important work for Telefunken, who made radars.

Super Tuesday: Joe Biden shows what it sounds like when senility settles in. Still, he ain't a Commie. Bernie's still in there. Warren, the mother in law that nobody wanted to movie in, can't even win her home state. Bloomberg has struck out. Let's see if they appoint Hillary.

Boxberg photo: Dad is 189th. One classmate is almost certainly 189th. The Thaon photo guy figures to be 189th. He later built a military career. One guy appears to be a Polish translator, likely borrowed from regular Army. Sam. Add a photography unit. Figure 6+ more in detachment

These sorts of tweets are not Q stuff, and I'm not signalling the Rooskies to invade. I don't feel like writing a book about my dad did in WW II, so I tweet. I don't what to clutter my political Twitter account, so I regularly delete the tweets. https://t.co/q1nmNSHKN4 QT @wysocki_fred: Boxberg photo: Dad is 189th. One classmate is almost certainly 189th.

Compliments of the 44th Infantry Division. May 31, 1945. The 1936 summer Olympics in Berlin was the famous one. My father is visiting the site of the 1936 winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It's been described as a mud bowl, but the trip kept the soldiers out of mischief. https://t.co/9cwJeQTc5Z

From Fold3. He's in the Boxberg picture. At this point, just a draftee, tech, with 2 or likely 3 stripes. This picture was taken in Thaon 12 days after my dad's pass, and sent home. From a free lancing Signal Corps photographer at the depot? For formal credentials? Probably 189th https://t.co/gEk9B8Q3k8

The son of the commander of VI Corps (100,000+ men) died in a plane crash at a Belgian airport. Within hours my father was issued this pass. He figures to have driven top brass to HQ. He had to have been previously screened, to have been instantly selected for this chore. https://t.co/qZW6w5Qsra

1) In the early hours of the morning on September 22, 1945, Ted took off in a B-17 on a training flight from St. Trond, Belgium, the group’s new location. Before dawn and after a flight of several hours duration Ted returned to find that the weather had closed in leaving the

2) field covered by a low overcast. While making an instrument approach, the ship crashed and burned killing all crew members. Ted was thrown clear and though he escaped burning, he died a few minutes later. Edwards Brooks Jr as written up in a West Point alumni write up

After Germany surrendered, 44th Infantry was slated to go back to America, to be recycled for Japan. Until then, the 44th sponsored touristy trips to keep the soldiers out of trouble. My father took pictures at two of them. This one's from the Brenner Pass, captured by VI Corps. https://t.co/WYCd6C33iS

Soldiers aren't supposed to send home pictures which would reveal military intelligence, so this one is not captioned. It looks like my father's detachment was traveling, took a break, and found the remnants of a German vehicle. Notice that they're traveling with a photo crew. https://t.co/kC2eGQ0TN8

The trucks could haul equipment or people: surrendering German soldiers or recently freed laborers from conquered countries. The Allies needed workers too, these being much more voluntary. The roads were clogged with such people in the spring of 45. https://t.co/c3sg72bN33 QT @wysocki_fred: Soldiers aren't supposed to send home pictures which would reveal military intelligence, so this one is not caption… https://t.co/LNXnm1EeaA)

My father's Paris map. The upper right hand corner is a metro station. This is just west of the river. The directions are to a building on the lower left, which has "stairway or elevator". The Germans leaving Paris left many empty places to stay. My father typically had a Jeep. https://t.co/3wztYyNsn4
