The Germans surrendered in May, ‘45. We dropped the bombs on Japan in Aug. Personally I wouldn’t have had a problem with us nuking Berlin, but since I’m of Japanese descent I tend to be more critical of my ancestral homeland....

If the Germans hadn’t surrendered first, I believe we would have used it on them. Remember the first test of an atomic weapon @ Trinity wasn’t until mid July of ‘45....

“We didn’t drop a bomb on Germany.”

We couldn’t, because the atomic bombs did not come into existence until aft the Germans had already surrendered in may 1945. The first plutonium core did not become available until the end of July 1945, when the TRINITY test detonated the first atomic fission device at the endo f july 1945.

Are you totally ignorant of US history, or just plain stupid? The first bomb wasn't finished until after Germany surrendered in May of 1945. The reason we bombed Japan in August was because that was when the bombs were finally tested and ready to go.

If we had the nukes before Germany surrendered we would have used them, bet on it. As for dropping a bomb on Germany we dropped many tons of conventional bombs on Germany and laid that country, and parts of France and other countries also, to total ruin.

Also, we did far more damage and killed many more Japanese with our fire bombs than we did with the nukes.
