I think the play reverses the facts and their meaning. Bohr's response to the meeting included communications that jeopardized Heisenberg's life. It seems clear that Heisenberg was trolling for any excuse he could give to his German team to drag their feet, such as word from Bohr (true or false) that scientists on the other side would likely refuse to work on atomic weapons, or would do so if they knew the Germans would. Bohr refused to give that word, making a German bomb more likely, not less. This new article reinforces such a view.
