Farm Hall

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

During the final weeks of the Second World War, ten of Germany's top physicists were held in a farmhouse in England.
Why were they held? Why were their conversations secretly recorded? (The tapes are still classified.) The news of Hiroshima astonished them. Were they reluctant servants of the Reich or just slower than their American counterparts?
Pianist: Stephen Pruslin. Dramatised by Richard Weiss and Colin MacLaren
Director Louise Purslow. Stereo
