Nine of the prominent German scientists who published reports in ''Kernphysikalische Forschungsberichte'' as members of the ''Uranverein''{{sfn|Walker|1993|loc=pp. 268–74 and Reference n. 40 on p. 262}} were picked up by [[Operation Alsos]] and incarcerated in England at Farm Hall in a bugged house under [[Operation Epsilon]]: [[Erich Bagge]], [[Kurt Diebner]], [[Walther Gerlach]], [[Otto Hahn]], [[Paul Harteck]], [[Werner Heisenberg]], [[Horst Korsching]], [[Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker]], and [[Karl Wirtz]]. Also incarcerated was [[Max von Laue]], although he had nothing to do with the nuclear weapon project. [[Samuel Goudsmit|Goudsmit]], the chief scientific advisor to Operation Alsos, thought von Laue might be beneficial to the postwar rebuilding of Germany and would benefit from the high level contacts he would have in England.{{sfn|Bernstein|2001|pp=50, 363–65}}
