Imagine: A remote peninsula, dense forests and abandoned military facilities where one of the darkest chapters in world history could have been written. Welcome to the Bug, a mysterious corner of the island of Rügen. But what is the story behind the reports that a nuclear weapons test took place here in the last days of the Second World War? This very question led us on an exciting journey - with a camera and unanswered questions in our luggage. Discover the mysterious stories surrounding possible nuclear weapons tests on the Bug peninsula on Rügen. Were there really secret experiments by the Nazi regime here? We shed light on the facts, myths and the so-called 7/10 rule, which explains the decay of radioactive radiation. Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of one of the most mysterious places of the Second World War and join us in our search for answers. The rumors about the Bug go back a long way. It is said that German scientists may have experimented on a so-called "mini atom bomb" here. Authors such as Rainer Karlsch claim in books such as "Hitler's Bomb" that tests with a new type of weapon took place on Rügen in 1944. Apparently, an Italian journalist named Luigi Romersa was even there and witnessed a huge explosion. But is there really evidence for this? Our journey began with these questions - and a large portion of skepticism. Many historians doubt that the Nazi regime was even capable of developing a functioning atomic bomb. In the race for this technology, Germany lagged far behind the USA and the Soviet Union. Experts point out that important breakthroughs such as the separation of uranium isotopes or a functioning reactor were not achieved. And yet, reports of explosions, military activities and secret tests on Rügen persist. Could there be more to this than we previously believed? The so-called 7/10 rule, which describes the natural decay of radioactive radiation, could explain why no traces can be measured today. After a nuclear explosion, the radiation intensity drops to a tenth within seven hours. After another seven hours, this process repeats itself. In the almost 80 years that have passed since the war, any possible radiation residues would have long since disappeared - if there ever were any. Our excursion finally took us to the place that keeps cropping up in reports: the Bug. Surrounded by dense forests and dilapidated military buildings, the atmosphere there was unique - almost spooky. We found traces of military activities dating back to the war. But evidence of nuclear tests? None. But that doesn't mean that these stories are just fantasy. Perhaps it is precisely the mixture of facts, myths and open questions that makes the Bug so fascinating. In the end, the question remains: what is the truth? Were there really nuclear weapons tests here, or is this one of the many mysteries that history leaves us with? We can't say. But that's exactly what makes such places so exciting: they make us ask questions, research and let our imaginations wander. What do you think? Could such tests really have taken place, or are the reports just a myth? Write to us in the comments! And if you want to experience more such explorations and stories, subscribe to our channel.
