My first thought was Brain Drain. Along the lines of Hitler chasing the Jewish scientists out of Germany over to the UK and USA - who then started working on the A-Bomb and stuff.

Hitler chasing them out certainly helped the American A-Bomb project but Germany had the actual guy who discovered chain reactions working on their bomb. The problem with the German project was a lack of resources, not brains. Unfortunately some of the Jews who worked on our A-Bomb project where also communists and fed all the results to the Soviet Union giving them the bomb years ahead of when they should have had it.
