I'll have to disagree. Again, Germany had not defeated Great Britain and the commonwealth. The war in the Atlantic was critical for Hitler. Like everywhere else, Germany was very successful there for the first two years. After about three years things started going downhill fast. The Allies controlled the seas. Germany would have to sit tight in where they were and hope an armistice. But Churchill and Roosevelt/Truman were not going to give in.

Even without the SU, America could outproduce Germany. So Hitler still had to battle GB and America. Remember, during WWI after Russia surrendered, Germany had an extra million troops to go to the western front. They still lost.

In the end America's huge capacity for resources plus manpower would do in Germany. Germany had the V2 rockets, but America was developing the atomic bomb. In the end, Germany would be worn down. Or Berlin destroyed by an atomic bomb.

You could also say if Heisenberg wanted Hitler to have the bomb he could have built it first.
