Abstract
The author and one of his collegues have written articles for the Bulletin which have pieced together a complex mosaic showing how Iraqi oil money was used to buy hardware and expertise from Western nations, particularly Germany, in an fruitless effort to build a nuclear weapon. The writers often talked to and quoted one of Iraq's German contacts, Bruno Stemmler. When employed as a physical chemist in Munich for MAN Technologies, Stemmler had been involved in the design and testing of gas centrifuges used to produce enriched uranium for nuclear reactor fuel, although the same centrifuges can be used to produce weapon material. Stemmler was accused of giving secret information about German centrifuges to the Iraqis. He told the Bulletin writers he wanted his version of the story told. Presented here is the story of Bruno Stemmler, engineer for hire.
