We didn't have 50 nukes in WW2, we barely had a couple and each one took weeks or even months to build because we just couldn't produce U-235/Pu-239 very quickly at the time. We might've been able to make 50 nukes had the war gone on twice as long as it did, assuming Germany didn't kick-start their own development after seeing them used and lob one at DC or NYC or something first.
