    Explanation: It’s a common historical counterfactual for amateur history enthusiasts to ask “What if Nazi Germany had [insert technology here]?” as a means of creating alternate timelines where Nazi Germany won the war.

    In reality, considering that the US was deeply concerned that the Nazis may have been getting close to nuclear weapons themselves (they were actually far behind the US project), any serious reversal of Allied fortunes in Germany probably would’ve ended up with the nukes being used on the Nazis instead of Imperial Japan.
