I know there are a lot more people with many more loose lips, but somehow cracking the enigma code and the Manhattan project maintained secrecy somehow. I guess.

Good point, though enigma had a relative small amount of people involved, especially compared to the Manhattan project.

Here though it would be different, too many low level contractors involved that would see too many things. With the Manhattan project they could separate people enough so that nobody had a complete picture, here that is veryuch harder

And yet they're still doing it.

There were Russians imbedded in the Manhattan project though...
