Werner Karl Heisenberg (December 5, 1901 – February 1, 1976) was a celebrated German physicist and Nobel laureate, one of the founders of quantum mechanics.
At best (for Heisenberg), he may have tried to hinder the German project; at worst, he may have just been ignorant of how to create an atomic bomb.
A passage from a 1943 letter from Heisenberg to Dutch scientist Hendrik B. Casimir indicates that at the very least Heisenberg was a strong German nationalist:

 My Best Fiend film review | Movie Forum
Despite the foreboding facts of this being one of many films shown at the EIFF this year as part of an epic Werner Herzog retrospective and the exceptionally boring talk given before the film, it soon became clear that a complete critical knowledge of Herzog's career was more or less completely unnecessary.
My Best Fiend's subject matter sounds deceptively simple - a reminiscence of Herzog's collaborations with his favoured leading man, Klaus Kinski - but quickly degenerates from this lofty academic perch into descriptions of their varied and evidently not-very-successful attempts to kill each other.
My Best Fiend, apart from documenting the Kinski-Herzog love/hate relationship, is also a fascinating behind the scenes look at several of their films.

 My Best Fiend
With generous clips from Herzog and Kinski's collaborations, My Best Fiend is one of the great portraits of artists fighting, even with murderous rage, to reach the sublime.
While My Best Fiend -- does a splendid job of chronicling the high drama and creative pinnacles of their work together, it emphasizes the most public and bleakly amusing aspects of their story.
My Best Fiend is about two men who both wanted to be dominant, who both had all the answers, who were inseparably bound together in love and hate, and who created extraordinary work -- while all the time each resented the other's contribution.

 INTERVIEW: Patron Saint of Eccentrics, Werner Herzog and His "Best Fiend"
One of the giants to emerge from the New German Cinema of the 1970's was director Werner Herzog, with wild visions like "Aguirre, the Wrath of God," "Fitzcarraldo," and "Nosferatu" -- a dreamlike cinema that, with these films in particular, explore the nature of obsession in revelatory ways.
Their pairing pushed both of them to creative extremes, and even thoughts of murder; but time and again the result was always their best work.
And when you look at "My Best Fiend," it is a totally and absolutely subjective point of view.

 Posthoc Movies: My Best Friend
With Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski and Eva Mattes.
From about the late 1920s on, the German film was moribund.  There was a matter of a sociopathic Austrian corporal who took over Germany and made it into a mirror of his ugliness and then ignited a worldwide conflagration that took upwards of fifty million lives.
Herzog’s mission was to take audiences to places they had never seen; to the razor edge between life and death, sanity and madness; to the outskirts of reality itself.

 My Best Fiend Movie Review at Hollywood Video
German director Werner Herzog's new film, My Best Fiend, makes the case to add his frequent collaborator Klaus Kinski to this "noble" pantheon.
My Best Fiend opens with Kinski on stage ranting at an unseen audience, claiming to be Christ.
Later, it is revealed that this segment is taken from one of the actor's "Jesus Tours," a series of engagements he undertook as a young man which basically involved his harassing German audiences in the guise of a particularly surly Savior.

 My Best Fiend
Fitzcarraldo, to offer a personal portrait of his "dearest enemy" or "best fiend", the actor Klaus Kinski, who starred in five of Herzog´s films between 1972 and 1987.
Kinski was the very model of a modern crazed actor-genius, as the clips of intense on-screen performances and wild off-camera antics make clear.
This documentary could certainly be useful to aspiring directors working with "difficult" actors and is an excellent companion piece for those revisiting or just discovering Herzog´s earlier films.
