Nazis discover cold fusion

Is this ASB? It only involves a single change in the nature of reality...

Suppose the Nazi project with heavy water results in reliable cold fusion, but no bomb. Do the Allies sue for peace to get the tech? Can this prolong the Reich?
 
I'm going to disagree with wormyguy and say that cold fusion, caused by hydrogen somehow turning into helium in the presence of Palladium is a crackpot claim.

Can Nazi Germany get swindled into a crackpot claim? Hell yes.

Of course, Cold Fusion doesn't exist except as either a myth or an expensive sinkhole. At least on a factual basis. But Germany didn't always operation on facts. It would look something like this:

Heisenberg: WOW! I've developed COLD FUSION!
Nazis: Awesome; lets stop building so many tanks and planes and try to weaponize it!!!
Heisenberg: Awesome! Thanks for the $$$.

[Four Years Later]
Nazis: The Soviets are knocking on Berlin, do you have it yet???
Heisenberg: Not quite yet, I just need to try it a little differently.
