It's important to note that the German Nuclear program was a small groups and overall a pieced together project so even if they were successful in their testing they had no structure, resources, manpower, facilities or capacity to go much further, the Manhattan project was slower, more methodical but was on a totally different level and as a result was able to quickly scale up. They even built for this project the world's largest building which held that title until it was demolished in 2006!! The US program cost around 2 billion dollars in today's money, the German effort is estimated around 2 million dollars in todays money, as well as having a minor fraction of the resources needed, thankfully.
