Wow, I did not know about Operation Epsilon. Thanks.
On July 6, the microphones picked up the following conversation between Werner Heisenberg and Kurt Diebner.
Diebner: I wonder whether there are microphones installed here? Heisenberg: Microphones installed? (laughing) Oh no, they're not as cute as all that. I don't think they know the real Gestapo methods; they're a bit old fashioned in that respect.
Looks like Heisenberg was a bit to certain about things.
