I'm not Rob, but Germany had enough Uranium to build a small reactorWhich didnt work and thus never produced any radioisotopes.

Which aren't needed for a dirty bomb, mind you - the uranium itself
would have been enough to scare people of today.
Not those who know anything about the subject. Natural uranium
is a weak alpha emitter that presents a negligible radiation hazard.
Given that Manhattan is built on granite there's a good chance
its MORE radioactive that Uranium.
Back then, nobody would have understood what "radioactive" means, today
people worry if somebody breaks a watch with tritium numbers...
Maybe but a uranium bomb of this type would be considerably
less lethal than one filled with HE
