When Einstein worked on nuclear bomb the saying was: If he fails French will say he's American, Americans will say he's German, and Germans will say he's Jew. If he succeed Germans will say he's German, Americans will say he's American, and French will say he belongs to the world.

His comment was about the theory of relativity rather than the bomb:

Einstein didn't work on the nuclear bomb at all. According to https://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/peace-and-war/the-..., he wrote that famous letter to Roosevelt and was later denied the necessary security clearance.
