Answer:

3 is Dr.Strangelove saying “The whole point of a doomsday machine is lost if you keep it a secret. why did’nt you tell the world eh?!”

2. is Nazi scientist Wernher Von Braun

1. is Edward Teller ( “Father of the H Bomb’)

Dr.Strangelove’s character is an amalgamation of 1 and 2.

ps: If you have not seen Dr.Strgangelove, you have missed one of the best movies of all time :)

  3. alephnull Says:

    Dr. Strangelove’s character was based on Edward Teller and Werner von Braun, among others (iirc).


  4. iamniks Says:

    1)Edward Teller- the father of the hydrogen bomb
    2)Wernher von Braun- leading figures in the development of rocket technology
    3)clipping from the movie Dr.Strangelove.

    They are rumored to be the inspiration for the character of Dr. Strangelove.


  5. Tathagata Chatterjee Says:

    Very nice question.
    1)Edward Teller ( “Father of the H Bomb’)
    2)The Nazi scientist Wernher Von Braun – the V2 rocket guy
    3) Peter Sellers as and in “Dr Strangelove”- the film directed by S Kubrick.
    The character of Dr Strangelove is based on idiosyncracies and ideological characteristics of Teller and Von Braun.
    The connect is : “Dr Strangelove-or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.”

    1. Edward Teller
    2. Wernher Von Braun
    3. Peter Sellers playing the role of Dr.Strangelove, a character based on Edward Teller and Von Braun


  14. sidsen Says:

    apart from the fact that dr. strangelove was at least partly based on these two – i.e. werner von braun and edward teller; the staunch advocacy of the deterrent theory (manifested by sdi) by both von braun and teller is also in line with strangelove’s doomsday machine principle.


  15. prasanth Says:

    1)Edward teller
    2) Wernher Von Braun
    3)a scene from dr. Strangelove

    connect: 1 & 2 along with Herman Kahn(RAND) were inspirations for the character of strangelove(3)


  16. yaksha Says:

    1>Edward Teller father of H2 bomb
    2>Werner von Braun v1 and v2 rocket
    3>Dr. Strangelove(peter selles)
    Doomsday machine and the atomic bomb. as he says russia created doomsday machine which would poison the earth. and it was kept a secret by the russians.
