I wonder if his continuing work could have shortened the war even more, had he not lost his job? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25495315 ID: 2800 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It is highly likely he would have contributed a lot more towards ending the European theater portion of the war. Not likely the Japanese would have given up as easily without the A-bombs or eventually without a lot of American GIs getting killed invading the home island.
