I've thought a bit about which ones. Some are easy: US, UK, Canada, France (Goldschmidt). Germans (i.e. Bethe) possible. One Czech (Placzek)

Several Hungarians to choose from (e.g. Wigner, Szilard). One Swiss-born (Bauer). Italians (Fermi, Pontecorvo).
-
Wigner and Szilard also count as Martians.

A few Russian born (Kowarski, Volkoff). Two Austrian-born (Halban, Paneth). Maybe a Pole (like Rotblat or Ulam)?

I suspect a lot of them who were different nationalities by 1944 would've been citizens of Austria-Hungary before 1918.
