  1. They're facing away from the blast and there was a big steel plate or bolder shielding them.

  2. That's actually the safest place to test one

  4. It took some ultra high speed film and a bulky motor but it worked well. These days there are cameras so fast they can record a laser beam going through a cloud of smoke.

  9. There's nothing to say. Scientists who had no known connection to war crimes got jobs from whomever offered. Some of them became mercenaries working for Nasserite Egypt, so the Israelis killed them. Others on the Soviet side of the line weren't exactly given a choice but went to work with Russian scientists. The Japanese nuclear program was disbanded due to orders given by mistake, but their scientists started researching nuclear medicines. The head of the German V-2 rocket program became the founding head of NASA. and so on and so forth.

  15. On the same Air Force Base as the alleged Area 51. But the part of the base you're thinking of was later declassified and SURPRISE, some German generals were held prisoner there for a time, but nothing really important.
