How did Einstein help create the nuclear bomb?

Albert Einstein's only connection to nuclear weapons was to sign a letter written by Leo Szilard in 1939 that was addressed to president Franklin Roosevelt warning that Nazi Germany might be working on an atomic bomb and that the US should begin research into the subject. Einstein was a pacifist and refused to do any war or weapons related work, he spent all of World War 2 working on the equations of his Grand Unified Theory (which he never worked out by the time he died). Albert Einstein had no idea if any action had been taken on the letter he had signed until he saw the August 6, 1945 newspaper headlines reporting the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
