One thet held together for more than a few minutes
would have helped too. Fact is the Germans didnt have
the materials required to resist Uranium Hexafluoride.

You make me laugh.Germans were ahead of US technology for a century.


Which explains how they won WW1 and WW2 I suppose

Not quite. The first soviet centrifuge pilot enrichment plant was
run at Sverlovsk-44 in 1957 but it didnt produce significant

Again you make me laugh,the deadline set by soviet leadership to produce
enriched Uran using centrifuges was April 1 1948.Zippe GUZ produced
enriched
Uran on March 21 and saved Soviet centrifuge development project.
BTW the very first Zippe GUZ was operational Feb.47.


Thats NOT what Dr Zippe says, he states he was released
in 1956 after the first prototype centrifuge ran successfully.
Of course the Germans hadnt the sense to let Dr Zippe work
on enrichment during the war, he was working on aircraft
propellor design for the Luftwaffe

I suggest you read his story its more interesting
than your fantasies. Better still listen to the interview he gave
to the BBC. He makes it clear that the design they built
for the Russians had NO resemblance to anything built by the
Nazis

The city of Novouralsk (Sverdlovsk-44) was established in 1941. Four years
later, the construction of the Urals Electrochemical Combine (UEKhK) began
there. UEKhK began producing highly enriched uranium (HEU) in 1949

The Ural Electrochemical Combine, site of the Soviet Union's first gaseous
diffusion enrichment plant, began operating in 1949. In 1950, certain
technical difficulties were resolved and UEKhK began producing tens of
kilograms of 90 percent enriched uranium. The original plant, called D-1,
was extended to include plant D-3 in 1951, and plants D-4 and D-5 in 1953.

As for uranium enrichment technology, it was decided in late 1945 to begin
construction of the first gaseous diffusion plant at Verkh-Neyvinsk (later
the closed city of Sverdlovsk-44), some 50 kilometres from Yekaterinburg
(formerly Sverdlovsk) in the Urals. Special design bureaux were set up at
the Leningrad Kirov Metallurgical and Machine-Building Plant and at the
Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) Machine Building Plant. Support was provided by a
group of German scientists working at the Sukhumi Physical Technical
Institute.

Plutonium is however the most likely unless you have
large stocks of Uranium

In a country that have capacity to send over 500kgs enriched Uran (not
Yellow
Cake like official version tells us) to Japan,this argument is irrelevant.

It would not have been capable of carrying a
first generation nuclear device and escaping the blast

I would not be worried about that,as if Germans had six to eight moths
more
time ,their nuclear weapons would not be sitting inside any bomber but on
tip
of a Balistic missille.

The only ballistic missile the Germans had was the A-4. Design
of a missile capable of reaching the USA had reached the
'sketch on the back of a knapkin' stage. Given how long
it took to make the A-4 operational they'd be lucky to
have one operational in 6 to 8 YEARS
