Somewhat inspired by the end of Turtledove's In at the Death. Let's say Heisenburg et al manage to build one nuclear bomb for Nazi Germany, but it's completed too late to make any difference to the actual war, when Germany is being overrun from both sides - say around March 1945. The question is, what would the Nazi leadership do with such a weapon?
The Allies have air superiority, so dropping it from a bomber is probably a no-no. This means that it would either have to be moved into enemy territory by infiltrators (as Turtledove had the CSA do) or left where a concentration of enemy troops is about to overrun and set on a timer.
So would the Germans use it against the western Allies or the Soviets? And how?
