Unfortunately, the powers of both sides are not comparable to any of the games, so we can’t just play it out with side switching house rules (and other stuff too, but I’m just saying a new setup will need to be designed). The Soviets were even less modernised than in 1941. The real question is Germany. If Germany fights with the Soviets, (depends on what Hitler’s short term plan is) the outcome is uncertain, especially with Italy’s allegiance. It Germany fights against the Soviets, the Soviets would probably fall, especially if Japan can be convinced to jump into the war.

What if the spy didnt get caught and Germany was able to develop the Nuclear Bomb, another interesting thought

What do ya’ll thinkI think you need to add some more information to this topic before we can discuss it intelligently.

I’m very curious since I grew up on East 86th Street. I assume this was on the East Side of Manhattan since the Upper East Side was home to a large German community.

Seems like it would be an interesting film.

Do your research

The real spy ring the film was based on focused on picking up intel for shipping, cracking the Manhattan Project was another thing altogether. But I can see why it’s a juicy film premise. One of Germany’s big problems was obtaining the material needed for the bomb, among other things.
For film what-ifs, I remember overhearing “Ya know, I really thought they were gonna kill Hitler!” after seeing Valkyrie in the theaters.

Keep in mind that there’s a big jump from the part about the spy not getting caught to the part about Germany developing an atomic bomb. Knowing how to build such a bomb is the easy part; the hard part (as General Veers has noted) is assembling the raw materials, specifically a sufficent quantity of weapons-grade fissile materials (uranium 235 or plutonium). The US set up a gigantic industrial infratructure (such as enormous gaseous diffusion plant at, as I recall, Oak Ridge) for that purpose, on a scale far beyond anything Germany attempted, and over the course of the war it only produced enough materials for three bombs.
