"неверно, что Бор резко разорвал с ним давнюю дружбу.

Готштейн отмечает мягкий тон не отправленного Бором письма. Оказывается, после окончания второй мировой войны Бор и Гейзенберг со своими семьями посещали друг друга, а один раз даже проводили вместе отпуск в Греции."

In it I mentioned the remarkable fact that only two days after Heisenberg's famous, misunderstood conversation with Bohr in 1941 on the feasibility of atomic bombs, Heisenberg spent a very harmonious evening with Bohr in his home where they discussed physics, avoiding politics, Heisenberg played the piano and Bohr read a story to him. (This information was discovered recently in an hitherto unpublished letter written by Heisenberg to his wife while still in Copenhagen in 1941, and posted right after his return to Germany, probably in order to avoid censorship.) This indicates that Bohr, although upset by what he thought Heisenberg had been trying to tell him two days before, was not really angry at Heisenberg personally even though, as Bohr put it later in his unsent letters, they now belonged to two sides in mortal combat with each other. This lack of anger is also shown by the friendly tone of the "Bohr letters" in spite of Bohr's objection to what he had read in Robert Jungk's book, (wrongly) assuming that Heisenberg had agreed with everything that Jungk had written. Also Bohr's behavior towards Heisenberg after the war, the mutual visits of the Bohr and Heisenberg families in their homes, and their joint vacations in Greece or Southern Italy after the war, seem to confirm this.

Heisenberg's father later became a well-known university professor of Byzantine philology.
