What if Nazi Germany had acquired the A-Bomb before the United States?

If candy and nuts were ifs and buts I'd have a lot of snacks.

Not much would be different. Germany didn't have the means to deploy one effectively at any point. They had no heavy bombers to carry one a long distance (and even if they did, the allies had air superiority through out the war after the Battle of Britain, so its likely wouldn't haven't got far), and the device would have certainly been too large to fit on a V2.

So the only real option would have been to use it during the Allied invasion of Germany. Which would have done nothing more than delay the inevitable. Perhaps if they had used one or two against the Soviets when they entered Germany, the Americans/British/Canucks would have taken Berlin instead, but thats about it.

not much would have been different they would have probably been overwhelmed by the Soviets before they had a chance to use one its also worth noetin the British were the closest to the A bomb before WW2 Germany had the right Rocket technology but didn't have the right idea on what to arm it with however fearing invasion the British sold the project to the U.S to finish .

My history is hazy (yeah I know its pathetic being a history major).. But wasn't our nuclear technology mature enough to actually use as a weapon after the defeat of Germany? Meaning if Germany had gotten it, it would not matter becuase they would have lost beofre they could ever have used it.

Germany actually had scientists capable of making the A-bomb but they were Jewish so he killed them.

Oh the irony:P

About the same I am thinking...it would be impossible to stage an attack on the US..but Russia on the otherhand...maybe they would be gone...or maybe nothing. I doubt they could possibly create enough bombs to wipe Russia off the map. Depends on when they had the a bomb, if it was when Germany was invading Russia etc. then they possibly could have wiped Russia off the face of the Earth. What would probably happen if the Russians hadn't weakened the Germans by then, well US may have just had to create a treaty with Russia/Japan and let them control the whole old world.
