At the end of the European war, Germany loaded up a submarine with lower grade uranium and shipped it to Japan in hopes that they were further along and might be able to make use of it against the US.
Bummer for them the sumbeeches had to surrender.

German submarine U-234 was a Type XB U-boat of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. Her first and only mission into enemy territory consisted of the attempted delivery of uranium oxide and German advanced weapons technology to the Empire of Japan. After receiving Admiral Dönitz' order to surface and surrender and of Germany's unconditional surrender, the submarine's crew surrendered to the United States on 14 May 1945.
