two wrongs dont make a right .  As far as Hitler's top scientists - 
those that were left once the war began may have done us a favor by 
dragging their feet to develop a German A bomb .  Heisenberg's Bomb I 
think is the book which details their reluctance to start up 
production, some may have fed the science to Speer saying that it would 
take a massive effort to create the bomb.  In the end nothing moved 
forward.
