Trinity, Little Boy and Fat Man were not intended for Germany, but the R&D that went into their creation was....as well as for Japan. Had our progress in attaining a working weapon been quicker, Germany might even have been first to receive one.

If it was intended for use on Germany, it would have been dismantled after Victory in Europe. It was not. By the time research had progressed to the point where it was a viable weapon - Germany had been defeated.
