Germany was working on an atomic bomb, but got diverted up a blind alley of a wrong approach to the problems, so they were nowhere near as close as the Allies feared they might be to having the bomb. The great German physicist, Werner Heisenberg, headed the German bomb program. Ironically, many of the scientists working in the US bomb program had fled Nazi Germany. Some of them were Jews. If the Nazis had been less crazed these people might well have stayed home and developed the bomb for Germany.
Heisenberg had published an article in a physics journal in the mid 30s, an implication of which was that an atomic bomb was possible. Soon after Heisenberg dropped from sight in the international scientific community. It was this article that made physicists in the US think that it was quite possible that Heisenberg was at work on a bomb for Germany, and worry over this possibility was the reason Einstein and his colleagues wrote a letter to President Roosevelt warning him of this danger, which was little understood outside physics labs at the time.
