Where would they have detonated it? In Europe on the land they were trying to conquer? Surely they knew about fallout. How would they have gotten it to America? I don't think subs could launch nukes back then.

Do you think Hitler would've hesitated detonating one in France, Italy and a couple in Russia after D-Day? He could've wiped out huge chunks of the Russian and Allied armies in 1 day. That would've froze all advances and given him time to regroup for a counter attack using nukes in a blitzkrieg. Don't think for a second he would've given a damn about the health of most of his troops storming through an atomic fall out. Then he would also would've mounted them to his infamous V rockets.
All of Russia would look like Chernobyl.

This is talking as if any country was mass producing atomic bombs. Even if Germany had built some, it wouldn't have been several bombs. They probably couldn't have made more than 2, and that would have been a stretch.
