Germany had spent roughly a little over a year and a half, beginning sometime in 1939, doing preliminary work on the atomic bomb. However they made a few errors (e.g. overestimating the critical mass of uranium-235 by enough that it suggested that an atomic bomb would be too heavy for any bomber that could be available during the war to carry). At that time it was decided to scale the project back. Work on bombs ceased and only work on prototype reactors that might be scaled up after Germany won the war continued.
The US Manhattan Project did not begin work on the atomic bomb until after the German work had already ended!
