Nothing to do with the game but here are a few historical nuggets on just how far the Nazis got with building a nuclear weapon.
Hitler's star member of the Uranium Club was a nuclear physicist called Werner Heisenberg [link]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werner_Heisenberg[/link]
Members of Heisenberg's staff like Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker [link]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Friedrich_von_Weizs%C3%A4cker[/link] and Karl Wirtz [link]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Wirtz[/link] did a lot of research on developing A-bombs and H-bombs during the 1930s, however when it became clear that this work was not going to yield a useable weapon in the near future the project was downgraded in importance and departments were split up.
In 1942 Hitler once again took an interest in science and appointed Hermann Göring as president of the nuclear project (which was probably the kiss of death). The administration also came to the unfortunate conclusion that most of the talented German nuclear scientists were Jewish and were therefore no longer around. Even Heisenberg came under attack for having less-than-perfect Aryan ancestry.
In 1944 all nuclear weapon development came under the control of SS Obergruppenführer Hans Kammler who also headed up the V2 rocket program. Kammler's other claim to fame was designing the more unpleasant facilities in the regime's concentration camps. It was a pointless reshuffle as by this time research had effectively ceased thanks to the destruction of the Vermork "heavy water" plant in Norway.
However...
On 4th March 1945 at a military training ground in Ohrdruf, Thuringia, a test explosion was performed in front of a number of officials. Eyewitnesses described it as the biggest explosion they had ever seen. During the Nuremberg trials Albert Speer was questioned about the details of the Ohrdruf test but claimed that the reports were inaccurate and that no "wonder weapon" had been developed far enough to test.
In 1952, Erich Schumann, Hans Winkhaus, and Walter Trinks applied for patents on a thermonuclear fusion bomb. They had not worked on any atomic weapons program since 1945.
Heisenberg and the majority of his staff were rounded up as part of Operation Alsos. Had these scientists not been spirited away by British and American counterintelligence agents they would almost certainly have ended up developing atomic weapons for the post-war Soviet Union. It was no coincidence that the head of Stalin's nuclear program was NKVD chief Lavrentii Beria.
