The Nazis were nowhere close to getting a deliverable nuclear weapon. They were aware that it was theoretically possible but hadn't even done a "proof of concept". All this story shows is high radiation levels, that could have been found in any lab of the time.

And keep in mind that nukes of the time were extremely heavy and required heavy bombers. The B29's that dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki only barely could do the job, Germany had nothing comparable that could get it done.

The Me-262 was probably the best hope they had but they were just running out of people and materials after Kursk and were doomed anyway.

They were nowhere close to a nuclear weapon, period, much less a deliverable one.
