No, I’m not.

Anymore than I am when I wonder if we would have dropped The Bomb on Europe.

Or when I wonder if the Japanese knew or suspected we didn’t have a third nuke available, if that was indeed the case, and surrendered to avoid a civil war, not out of fear of another bombing.

From what I have read, after the two that were dropped on Japan, we did have one more available in August of 45. It was still in the US. But, more could have been made in a relatively short time.

The BOMB was designed with Germany in mind, the Kruts surrendered before we could use it on them. Iy’s good to read history before you comment
