Yes, it probably wasn't terribly helpful either that the rejection of Jewish physicists, many of whom helped get the American bomb project off the ground, and rejection of physicists studying "Jewish Physics" left them with probably too few qualified physicists to move a bomb project along as rapidly as the Americans did, even if they had the budget for a project of that size (they didn't), and were willing to spend it early enough (no indication of that). Considering also that they would have had to move rather faster than the Americans, since they didn't finish before the defeat of Germany. Fortunately for the world, there are plenty of reasons why is was essentially impossible for them.
