Fair enough. I can certainly believe the germans were working on a bomb, they had better scientists than we did. But they didn't pull it off, in fact the US hadn't even finished the bomb by the time the war in Europe ended. (Why didn't we use the bomb on Germany, because it didn't exist.) The Manhattan scientists were predominately German, we took them leaving Germany fewer scientists to make that happen.
My point was Fox stated, "Nazis had tested nuclear weapons during WWII." No they were working on it as the NewHistorian site points out, "Although it is accepted that the Nazi’s had an atomic bomb project of their own, it’s usually assumed to have been a long way from actually producing a functioning nuclear weapon." So it wasn't a WMD factory, it was a research center. I'm a bit precise about history, our books are wrong.
