"Till Hitler the world-center for nuclear research was in
Göttingen; 1933 it moved to America. It's an interesting 
speculation that without Hitler's anti-Semitism probably
Germany, and not America, would have been the first country 
to develop a nuclear bomb."

Sebastian Haffner: Anmerkungen zu Hitler [1978], p. 101 (own translation).
