Nobody outside the handful of physics professors at universities, and theoretical physicists on campuses and in laboratories, had any idea that any such thing as an atomic bomb might be possible. When told, it sounded like Science Fiction.
Albert Einstein received a visit from two other physicists while at his vacation home on Long Island in the early days of the war. These men knew that one of the leading physicists in the field was a German, Werner Heisenberg. Heisenberg had published scholarly articles in the 30s, one implication of which was that a nuclear bomb might be possible. In their discussion these three realized that it was quite likely the Germans had Heisenberg at work trying to make such a bomb. So they jointly wrote a letter to President Roosevelt, trying to alert him to the danger. The visitors had come to Einstein to get him to sign such a letter, because he had some name recognition, and they did not, outside of universities. It was this letter that gave birth to the US bomb program, the Manhattan Project.
But most people, and I mean the overwhelming majority, still did not know what an atomic bomb was even after they heard we had dropped some on Japan.
