You are on an IMPORTANT trail. Don't give up on it. In this area it will be your own eyes that will see. Do not let his study of " gravity waves" escape you.
A couple of things to look more carefully into also. Sir Penney would have seen more if the Americans hadn't purposely delayed his flight on the Big Stink.

In 1945 Igor Gouzenko, a Soviet Embassy official, defected to Canada.
With him he brought shattering information: Moscow had penetrated the ultra-secret Manhattan Project on the atom bomb, and a highly -placed mole was undermining the most vital work of the British secret service.
Only the intervention of Sir William Stephenson, the spymaster code-named Intrepid, convinced the West of Gouzenko's importance.
In the teeth of official opposition, Intrepid maintained that Soviet double agents were in key positions inside the intelligence systems of the USA, Britain and Canada. INTREPID'S LAST CASE tells how, with his closest colleague accused of betrayal, Intrepid worked to clear his friend's name and to expose the traitors.
As masterful as A MAN CALLED INTREPID and as tense as a first- rate spy thriller, INTREPID'S LAST CASE unfolds a world-class story of treachery, cover-up and betrayal. . end quote
In 1945. This is different to the conventional view. Seems that Stephenson had a bead into USSR of his own.

"Another author from whose writings I have drawn is William Stevenson, author of the book A Man Called Intrepid, the approved biography of another gentleman and friend of Stevenson's, a man by the same name, Sir William Stephenson (unrelated, note spellings). Sir William is the man who oversaw the combined intelligence efforts of the United States and England during World War II, and who, incidentally, plays a minor role in our story within the covers of Critical Mass. Author Stevenson's book is titled The Bormann Brotherhood. "

So if Groves had to source bomb grade U and a trigger from Germany, that helps explain the sortie he organised and which involved Brown. Pitchblende, which Madame Curie used in tons, is a form of uranium ore
common in Europe, esp Poland, Czech Repubs, and there are mines in Germany.
we know for sure that the Navy, having been enriching U to reactor grade in Phillie prior to Manhattan Project formed, assisted in that the B grade stockpile (Navy's, (Gunn)) was sent to Oak Ridge, greatly reducing time to make initial batch. But Nazi Germany was Uranium rich via the mines it had control over. Interesting so see if any of the mines listed :

Match with location of mine in which the Nazi Bell was located.
And it seems to me Brown had Stephenson's intel and knew that NATO (Including US) had Soviet Spies in high level positions. For some reason the UK and US didnt accept this (probably because of the Philby thing - someone was countering Stephenson's intel within NATO)
Twigsnapper Nagasaki wasnt the primary. Penney was on the targeting committee. If Penney was Stephenson's, he knew of the weapons transfer from Germany to Japan? The primary target was the town where Japan's terror weapons esp lewisite and mustard gas shells were assembled. Hiroshima Prefecture was location of the poison gas manufacturing site. (An island)(German pattern techniques)
This was captured intact by US. (US "Japan Disclosure Act 1999" , Dugway)
The Ni project and Kyoto university engaged in nuclear research and attempted U enrichment. Had powdered U. Did German subs maintain contact with Japanese advanced weapon projects? Penney knew this?
So the Soviets captured the Nazi nuclear weapon facilities in I guess, Poland?
