Biggest German Bomb in WW2?

Compared to Allied forces, what was the max they fielded? My
understanding
is they lacked heavy bombers.

Probably the SC 1800; SC for "Spreng Cylindrisch" (cylindrical HE)
and 1800 for the weight in kilogram. The SC 1800 was a big bomb,
but with modifications a Fw 190 could carry one, and a He 111 could
carry two on external bomb racks.


No, SC 2500:

Note: This is the bomb casing that the two German spherical
radiological weapons under construction were to be carried in and
dropped by either

a) the re-activated Sanger antipodal bomber project of Feb 1945
(mock-up construction discovered in Lofer factory at end of war)

or

b) Horten XVIII "Amerika" bomber project of March 1945 (with partial
tubular steel center section started before collapse)

with the intention of dropping them on NYC.
