To be honest, I would have thought that if they had built one, testing would have been done by dropping it on the nearest allied unit and seeing what happened rather than messing around with KZ inmates. It's not like they were in much of a position to take it slow and careful by that time.

In his autobiography, Albert Speer makes some interesting comments about the German research program. I'll have to rake them out. I seem to remember he claims that it was something other than mathematics that held them up - but then I tend to take anything that Speer claims in his book with a huge pinch of salt.
