Clearly you are confused. Yardy is in the cricket team:

Who are "they"? Work stopped in Germany on using any kind of nuclear
source as a weapon by 1943. Feel free to quote reliable sources to
prove otherwise.

And when you say "bringing together radioactive material sufficiently
refined to bring about a chain reaction" what are you referring to?
Medical waste FFS? Because they had no working reactor to produce any
other kind of radioactive material, nor were they apparently in any
hurry to make one. The only work in 1945 was, as I said, being done
towards a Civil service power grid, not a weapon, and was nowhere near
any kind of physical result. And the Military was showing little
interest.

-------------------------

So why do you suppose they placed so much vital military importance on heavy
water (deuterium oxide) production.

Maybe their troops wanted something more substantial in their water canteens
eh?
