Atomic bombs were actually invented in Germany.
(what they told you in school was more or less a lie)

But Germans don't like atomic bombs, because they are difficult to use 
and extremely expensive.

Actually atomic bombs cannot be used properly and if the enemy has them, 
too, they are practically useless.

But Germans could most likely build them, supposed they wanted to.

Well, Germans had a share of such attrocities and have actually enough 
of that.
