All nukes leave a unique signature.

It was one of a pair ... there were two of them under the “H-bar”.

Interesting use of ‘big’ as a verb. Never saw that before.

Most historical analysis, with hindsight, suggests that the Nazi nuclear research programme never got very close to developing an atomic weapon.

Uh huh. And Iran wants nuclear energy to power goat warmers. Just keep telling yourself that evil psychotics don't want to incinerate you, and everything will be fine.

the closer they get to figuring out when it was made, the less certain they are as to where it came from.

Apparently both came from ores extracted at the "Joachimsthal" mine in what is now the Czech Republic

Jáchymov in Czech. The mine was named after the spa near it. A beautiful area. Not from from Carlsbad. Communists turned the town into a slave labor camp to operate the mine. It was really a death camp. Average age of death was around 45.

After the cat found it, he wondered (with a heavy psi) the probability of finding the other one ...

I actually saw the cat.

It was dead, but it still meowed.

Evidence suggests that they Nazi’s were building a nuke at the end of the war and may have even tested a low yield bomb on Jewish Prisoners (that I can believe). The bomb was to be used as a bargaining chip so top Nazis could escape justice but it failed as the Allies had the bomb. So much for rumor. I read they found a drawing of a German A-Bomb someplace and there were memos that they would have one ready to fly to New York by 1946. It seems that they might have been at work on such a weapon when the war came to an end.
