I saw a documentary on PBS once that basically said that after the war the OSS and MI6 got all the German Scientists in a house together and listened in, then sent the transcripts to our Scientists who told them that the Germans had the formulas wrong and thought they needed a lot more nuclear material for the bomb to work. Apparently we let the German Scientists go after that.
