Surely there were rumors that the Americans were developing something truly awful. Why didn't the Truman administration release a video reel of a successful test? Seems like at least a thought someone would have entertained, so I'm sure there were good reasons for not doing so, but curious if anyone has looked into this.
Thanks!
