WWII & Einstein??

Albert Einstein is known in the  early 20th century to have worked on levels of energy on the nuclear levels.

As a "pacifiist", Einstein assisted on the design for the gyrocompass used in German

 U-boats.

Einstein is known to have produced formulae on releasing the energy in atoms, and issued the famed E=MCsquared.

At those times, nations initiated programs to utilize the released power of the atom, e.g. atomic energy as a force. Several nations were considered in competition for that effect. Germany and Japan made plans to share the world amongst themselves.

Einstein (German pacifist) visited Japan and also gave lectures in 1922. He spoke at Kyoto, Kobe, Sendai, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Tokyo at Keio Univ., Tokyo Institute Of Physics at Imperial University, and at Moji.

In 1943, Einstein became a consultant to the US Navy Bureau of Ordnance, section on Explosives and Ammuntion.  Japan became a serious competitor for the atomic energy during WWII. Coincidence?
