I seriously doubt that they had already gotten the bomb- because as Kiwi already said, they would have used it for more than some islanders. I do think that they were very close to getting the bomb. That Uboat that tried to reach Japan near the end of the war- I forget the operation and junk, but it had two Japanese on it and apparently they were going to get some Uranium from Japan. I dont remember a whole lot of the details and I may get a bit wrong- I watched a documentary of it about a year ago- I think it was being chased by both the americans and the british. They eventually surrendered to the americans. I take that as a pretty good sign that the Germans were very close to th completion of a bomb. Does anyone know what that thing was called though.
The article was interesting, is the book still available?

the U-boat was carrying uranium 235 and a couple of engineers but they were for the me262s being carried.
