What you don't understand is that if the US develops the atomic bomb while Germany is still in the war, it's "game over" for Germany

After the US proved it possible, it took the Soviets four years to explode an atomic bomb and that was after they had stolen the plans, and nobody was bombing the hell out of them during those four years.

Even if a miracle happens and the US decides not to turn Germany into a nuclear desert, Germany has no chance of getting the bomb in any meaningful time frame.
