Best Answer

Albert Einstein's assistance to the Manhattan Project was in the form of a letter he wrote to FDR, encouraging him to persue research in atomic weapons.

Although Einstein was a pacifist and was strongly opposed to war, he viewed Nazi-Germany as the greater threat and used his prestige as a physicist to encourage atomic research.

As a Jewish-German, Einstein had seen first-hand what the Third Reich was willing to do, and did not want them being the sole owners of atomic weapons.
