 The main thing that derailed the German atomic bomb project was their
20-fold overestimate of the amount of uranium required to achieve
critical mass.
 They had discovered that plutonium could be manufactured that would
reduce the critical mass but it was late 1943 by then and
Anglo-American bombing was starting to "bite". They never attempted
U-235 / U-238 separation (which is what the Hiroshima bomb was based
on, the Trinity test and Nagasaki bombs were both done with Plutonium)
 I'm not aware that any German physicist either during or after the war
cited lack of Jewish physicists as having had a material impact on
their project. Nor do I know of any German physicists that joined the
AEC (in a similar way to the way von Braun and others joined NASA)
after the war.

Fermi came to the US because new Italian racial laws would have affected his wife. Not German, but the Axis.
