There was in 2006 one former defence minister in germany who said germany should build up it's own nuclear bomb. But there wasn't any big debate in german society and political staff. Ok such things won't be debate much in public.--134.147.117.56 10:09, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it should also be mentioned that in 1957 the leading german nuclear scientists started a boycott on adenauer`s idea of a german nuclear arsenal. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6ttinger_18

Also it's interesting that in 2007 the french president ask germany offically if germany and france should share the power of nuclear weapons and germany so also have the chance to get weapons of mass destruction. see: [1] [2] --134.147.31.157 16:47, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DDT is not an organophosphate, and the first organophosphate pesticide, parathion, was developed during the war by IG Farben itself. The insecticidal properties of DDT were discovered by a Swiss chemist in 1939, but the compound and its synthesis were known in Germany, even if large-scale production and use of DDT did not happen except on the Allied side. The anecdote may be true, but I can't verify it because the cited book isn't publically available, and I thought it was best to remove it from this article unless it can be verified.
