German anti-Semitism had something to do with it.
Here is a 1939 letter to FDR from one Jewish immigrant refugee:
How we got the A Bomb before the Germans did is beyond me. Divine intervention or there really are aliens at Area 51 are my first two guesses. Glider bombs (Smart munitions) and R/C mini-tanks (Battlefield drones). I mean really, I had no idea. Just WOW.

Germany couldn’t afford the costs of the A-Bomb project. Having 10 times the brainpower helped too.

Here is a 1939 letter to FDR from one Jewish immigrant refugee:
Well, for a start, our industrial base was massively larger than Germany's, we had more money straight out than they did, we had more and diverse universities, and oh yeah, they robbed from, persecuted, drove out, assaulted, and eventually terrified and murdered people and the families of people who might have been able to actually help them make a working bomb.
Besides THAT, I wonder too!
The answer is very simple. Hitler persecuted the Jews. Many of the finest physicists and mathamatecians fled Europe, most were Jews. They gave us the bomb.
Ironic is the fact that German Jews fought for the Kaiser in WWI as loyal German citizens. If they had not been persecuted by Hitler, they would have built the bomb for Germany. Hitler was an evil charismatic leader. Thank God he was an idiot in relationship to military tactics and did not realize the loyalty of the German Jew to a nation that would not persecute them. Otherwise, he would have won.
