From Rusty Barton:
snip
After the war George C. Marshall won the Nobel Peace Prize.


Here's his bio from the Nobel website:
http://www.nobel.se/peace/laureates/...shall-bio.html

Curiously, there's no mention about his involvement with weapons of
mass destruction (from either WWI or WWII). Assuming that the Nobel
people are aware of Marshall's background, we might conclude that they
don't want to promote the popular notion (popular in the USA at least)
that Marshall's nuclear bombs were used to save lives.


CORRECTION:

Upon closer reading, I see that the Nobel bio *does* mention a
fraction of his involvement with WMDs:

"From 1941 he was a member of the policy committee that supervised the
atomic studies engaged in by American and British scientists."
