What if Germany developed the nuclear bomb during or at least few years before WWII?

  4. The reason why the National Socialist Germany couldn't able to build their own atomic bomb wasn't because of the country lacked the scientists, resources, or will, but rather because its leaders did not really try. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/military/nazis-and-the-bomb.html

  6. Speaking of scientists, since most of these scientists were of jewish heritage, they were eventually drove out from Germany, which was a big mistake, because it will actually decrease the ranks of academia, which will decrease the chance of nuclear development. So what if in an alternate timeline, if the German leaders decided to not drove out Jewish scientists which means that these group of scientists would’ve been the only jews that weren’t puricated and even protected as long the nuclear had been successful.
 
The Alien Space Bat will have had to settle on a big nest and lay one for the Nazis. Germany was already spending economically unsustainable amounts on rearmament in the late 30's. The US A-Bomb program was about $1.8 billion in 1940-45. $70 million was on R&D - about the cost of a Battleship. However actual production was about $1.1b for the plant just to deliver 5 bombs by 1945 (cost of a fleet!). So you could shift the cost of the Battleship Bismarck but that will then only get you the basic research.
