		developer of a successful Nazi atom bomb, Diebner received his doctorate at Halle in 1931 with a dissertation on ionization of alpha rays.
		He oversaw German atomic research at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute from 1939-42, and he was responsible for the disposition of the labs of Frédéric Joliot when Paris fell and of the labs at the Bohr Institute after the taking of Copenhagen.
		(The latter were allowed to remain under Danish control.) Diebner proposed using latticed cubes of uranium with heavy water as a moderator as a model for an atomic device; this arrangement achieved some success in generating chain reactions but is thought to have produced too few neutrons to go critical.

		According to (controversial) historian David Irving, Diebner was head of the Heereswaffenamt (HWA; "army weapons office") project in Nazi Germany to develop an atomic bomb from enriched uranium.
		Diebner's project was a rival to that of Werner Heisenberg, whose efforts in the German nuclear energy project were apparently directed primarily towards nuclear power and the creation of plutonium.

		Two German physicists at Farm Hall, who had been party members, Kurt Diebner and Erich Bagge, felt very much on the defensive and sought desperately to win the confidence of their colleagues.
		Diebner tried to ingratiate himself with the revered Otto Hahn, the co-discoverer of nuclear fission (his Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced while he was at Farm Hall), by stressing the opportunism of his decision to join the party.
		Diebner claimed to have made a deal with the non-Nazi Karl Wirtz: if the Nazis won, Diebner would help Wirtz; if they lost, Wirtz would help Diebner.

		Sein Fazit, nach gründlicher Darstellung der Arbeiten der Forschungsgruppe Dr. Kurt Diebner in der Mittelschule von Stadtilm, lautet: Klein – Atombomben (angeblich nur 100 – 200 g Kernsprengstoff) sind aufgrund der notwendig zu erreichenden kritischen Massen von Uran 235 (10 – 15 kg) und Plutonium 239 (5–6 kg) nicht möglich.
		Parallel dazu wurden in Diebners Regie „Experimente zur Erzielung hoher Temperaturen in Deuterium mit Hilfe einer mechanischen kugelförmigen Verdichtungsstoßwelle auf der Basis von Sprengstoffdetonationen“ durchgeführt.
		Das Silber wurde auf eine etwaige Aktivität untersucht, die....wegen der geringen Größe der Anordnung nicht gefunden werden konnte.“ Von diesem Versuchsprinzip scheint Diebner bis Kriegsende nicht abgewichen zu sein.

		The true novelty of Mr Karlsch's research, though, is to have turned the spotlight off Heisenberg and onto a competing project run by one Kurt Diebner.
		Mr Karlsch found evidence to show that, sponsored by Walther Gerlach of the Reich Research Council, this group abandoned its quest for an A-bomb to concentrate on a weapon made of conventional high explosives packed around a nuclear core.
		Diebner eventually got a job in West Germany's defence ministry.

		He then speculates that, under instruction from the SS, a team of physicists working with Kurt Diebner, a rival of Heisenberg, made use of the discovery.
		He said one of the physicists in the group had told him that there were "two atomic bombs in a safe." Rundnagel later said the two bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
		According to Karlsch, Diebner and his colleagues used a special device that combined nuclear fission and fusion to initiate a chain reaction.

		Then, in the transcripts of conversations from August 1-6, 1945, Dr. Kurt Diebner briefly mentions a fact that carries great significance in the light of what we have discovered of the German atom bomb project and the SS Sonderkommando underground factories in the Harz Mountains in Thuringia.
		Bernstein appears not to know, but given that Diebner has earlier referred to his supply of radium "in the Harz", we may rationally speculate that Diebner was referring obliquely, and no doubt intentionally so, to his colleagues in the SS run program.
		Diebner, who clearly has some connection to Kammler's SS "think tank" special projects empire in the Harz mountains, alludes to an unknown "photochemical" process for isotope separation and enrichment.

		And newly unearthed Russian documents show that in 1941 Heisenberg drafted a de-facto patent application for a plutonium bomb, although he referred to the substance as "element 94" in relation to its position on chemistry's periodic table, says Walker.
		What is already known is that Heisenberg's organisational rival, German army physicist Kurt Diebner, pushed ahead with a design for a reactor which was tested in February 1945 in the village of Haigerloch, near Tuebingen.
		In a controversial book, "Hitlers Bombe," published this March, independent German historian Rainer Karlsch said Diebner's team also tested a nuclear device in Thueringia, eastern Germany, on March 4 1945, killing several hundred prisoners-of-war and concentration-camp inmates who were used as guinea pigs.

	New light on Hitler's bomb (June 2005) - Physics World - PhysicsWeb
		For most of the war, there were two competing groups working on nuclear reactors: a team under the Army physicist Kurt Diebner in Gottow near Berlin; and scientists directed by Werner Heisenberg in Leipzig and Berlin.
		Heisenberg never gave Diebner and the scientists working under him the credit they were due, but the Nobel laureate did take up Diebner's design for the last experiment carried out in Haigerloch in south-west Germany.
		After a series of measurements had been taken, Diebner wrote a short letter to Heisenberg on 10 November 1944 that informed him of the experiment and hinted that there had been problems with the reactor.

		With the exception of Max van Laue, all the scientists - Erich Bagge, Kurt Diebner, Walther Gerlach, Otto Hahn, Paul Harteck, Werner Heisenberg, Horst Korsching, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker and Karl Wirtz - had been involved in the uranium project.
		Whereas the experiments under Heisenberg used alternating layers of uranium and moderator, Diebner's team developed a superior 3D lattice of uranium cubes embedded in moderator.
		More surprising, if not shocking, is another revelation in RK's book: a group of scientists under Diebner built and tested a nuclear weapon with the strong support of both Walther Gerlach - an experimental nuclear physicist who by 1944 was in charge of the uranium project for the Reich Research Council.
