Important to know history, but:
Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A f'n bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the SOB who shot you was wearing?
IOW - When the nukes start falling, I don't think the history of nuclear bombs is going to mean much.
German Physicists talk about the bomb when hearing about it in 1945. PDF.

What an amazing timeless mental journey is was to enter minds of these men by following their thoughts, their words, sensing their guilt, anger, envy, jealousy, their trying to put into balance in their minds the imagining of what could have been, the realization of what is, what should be.
The thing is...that transcript covers the wrong German scientists. Heisenberg et al were not very far along.
Manfred VonArdenne, Kurt Diebner, etc were successful in refining uranium and potentially even tested a bomb. Ardenne was working under the German Postal service.
See the Zinser Affadavit from the National archives, the history of U234 (the submarine) Todd Riders "Forgotten Creators" and Ranier Karlsch's "Hitlers Bombe". Further, ask yourself why so many underground sites in Germany were quietly blocked off/destroyed by the government- and continue to be. Jonastaal is a great example.
At one point the third Reich had at least 6 parallel nuclear programs. There is alot of history out there that isnt taught.
