Teller was not German, but a Hungarian Jew. He fled from the facists
ruling Hungary in 1926, at age of 17. He obtained his Ph.D. in Germany
in 1930 and wrote many papers on quantum mechanics there. No atomic
bomb work, as the fission reaction was then still unknown. Once the
Nazis took over, he knew he had to get out ASAP. He left around
1935.

So, Teller was long gone by the time nuclear fission was discovered
(1939), and it's most unlikely he'd have told the Nazis how to make a bomb.

This is from Richard Rhodes' book, "The Making of the Atomic Bomb."

hooray the most evil person ever to exist in the world is now dead


He could have stayed in Germany and given Hitler the atom bomb. Be thankful for
little things.
