And the Krauts complain that Dresden was a war crime. We should have nuked a number of German cities.

The problem with that is the Germans were ahead of us. About the time Germany fell, they sent a sub to Japan with the plans for the German bomb. We intercepted it. It was just a matter of weeks, maybe a few months, before they would have had their own bomb.

Only one problem, the fallout would have spread across Europe and not just Germany, Japan was more isolated.

This isn't Dresden, this was Warsaw in 1945.
