I would vote for an atomic bomb, which the Germans were working on frantically throughout the war.
Sorry, I don't think I would go along with this. For much of the war, the Germans were doing some fairly basic nuclear research in a fairly half heated way, with nothing like the the level of staffing and funding you would need to produce a viable bomb.

Come 1945, they were not even close to having a sustainable basic reactor, let alone a bomb, in spite of some recent rather ridiculous press reports that they did have a weapon.
