How did the QC universe get so different from ours?
Surgoshan:
Ah, yes, the sport of the overweight and middle-aged.

Where would the Germans have developed the bomb? You'd need somewhere well away from the battlefield for the scientists to do their work, like the Australian Outback or New Mexico. Also somewhere to test it that isn't near any population (I can't think of anywhere in Europe you could test a nuclear bomb) and not needed for some other purpose for quite a while.
Man, I don't even remember that one. So, thanks.
Surgoshan:
Actually, if the neutron had been discovered just a few years earlier than it was, then the Germans might have developed the atomic bomb first (remember that a significant chunk of the talent at Los Alamos had been forced to flee Germany). As for where they'd test it? They'd test it in the ocean, just as we often did.

Germany didn't lose its colonial empire in the Great War. They built and tested their bombs the same way OTL France did - out in the boondocks of their colonies.
Doug S. Machina:
That's why I mentioned the Australian outback: that's where Britain tested its bomb.
I couldn't remember what colonies Germany had (and it was far to late to start research) They had colonies in Africa, didn't they?
