Right. A trans-Atlantic flight wouldn't have been possible. They would have needed a forward air base. Take out Moscow and Stalin probably just moves his production further east of the Urals.

Any documentation that Hitler's engineers flying-wing (B-2 concept) was more than a theory? I mean, they put the Me-262 into service and even with the small numbers it was more than formidable.

I think you’re talking about the Horten Ho 229. It was a fighter bomber concept. So there was no possibility of it ever being used to carry about a nuclear strike. It had neither the range or payload capability. I think they did build a small handful of them but never got past preliminary test flights. I think the Smithsonian or another similar museum has one in storage.
