"It’s a shame we stopped at two nukes."

We only had one more, and it was intended for Germany. But Truman ordered it shipped to the Pacific when Japan waited so long to surrender after the first two nukes.

“We only had one more, and it was intended for Germany. But Truman ordered it shipped to the Pacific when Japan waited so long to surrender after the first two nukes.”

We were going nuke Germany 3 months after it had surrendered?

You need a dose of history, with a chaser of common sense.

“We only had one more, and it was intended for Germany.”

I don’t know where you learned that, but Germany surrendered in May, 1945, before we had comepleted the construction of ANY nukes. So, it makes no sense that we would have built and designated a nuke to be used against Germany when Germany was already out of the war, don’t you think?
