Not true, the scientists working on the Manhattan project were either US born or Europeans that had managed to flee the Nazis and Europe prior to the war. The one notable exception was Niels Bohr who was helped to escape from occupied Denmark by the British.

Also, it is unlikely that the Germans would have been able to succeed with their atomic project, among other things due to lack of resources. However, the Allies did not know that until after the war.
