Eh, I get what you mean but imagine the Nazis started nuking.

It just struck me. Germany invented missiles just before Japan sent their boys on suicide runs as living missiles. The nazi scientists in the US watching Japan throw so many people away must have felt pretty self satisfied

They might have killed a quarter of a million civilians.

You are aware the nukes were dropped on Japan, not Germany, right? Like at that time Germany was already defeated.

Yeah the Japanese weren’t exactly doing great things at the time but their failure to offer a complete and immediate surrender following the collapse of the Nazi regime did not and could never justify the two most horrific, apocalyptic single attacks ever committed against a civilian population. The US leaders did it because they could, and because they wanted to show off their new toy.
