re: The Nazi Atomic Bomb

Had they developed a A-bomb they would have been presented with the problem of exactly how to deliver it to any valuable targets. The first hurdle would be a delivery vehicle. To give some perspective, the first two American A-bombs weighed 9,000 & 10,000 lbs respectively. A device of that weight would be too heavy for the V-2 rocket to deliver. It could only deal with a little over 2,000 lb payload. That means a conventional bomber would have to deliver the bomb. But that opens up two more cans of worms. First, by 1944, the Luftwaffe was a shell of it's former self so the odds of a successful bombing mission are not good. But even if they got to say London or Moscow, they still have the problem of the weight of the bomb. The biggest bomber the Germans had was the Messerschmitt ME 264 ( LINK)....



.. and it could only handle a bombload of less than 7,000 lbs.
