Heisenberg, or Twomoreborg, as was known to his friends may not have been working on the bomb flat out, but he may have wished that impression to be given. Taking Bohr in "confidence" may have been a way to get whoever may listen to or watch Bohr for clues, to confirm what he wanted them to think. He could have been appearing to pump Bohr in what he knew would be an ineffectual way, which he knew Bohr would resist.

He did say he was sabotaging the effort to get a bomb for Hitler, which I could understand him fearing. As for many Germans after the war, much of this was seen as whitewashing. Picking lumps of sincerity out of the whitewash is an uncertain business.

With Heisenberg you could never be to sure. The more certain you are of the evidence the more uncertain you are of his spoofing it.

One thing is certain, the Germans did have a heavy water plant but they had no reactor. In general, without Plutonium they would not have had a bomb.
