Germany was originally the target of the first atomic bomb, but they surrendered by the time it was ready.
Uh dont think so.By the time the bomb was ready, Germany was on the ropes and had already put feelers out for a way to end the war in europe.Besides there would have been no benefit for an atomic attack on germany because we and the brits had damn near bombed them back to the stone age with conventional bombing.The Japs on the other hand would have fought to the last man and caused numerous allied casualties during the invasion called Olympus or Olympia planned for november of 45.So we let them have it...Twice and it broke their will.
