Would they have been used on Germany?A bomb was a legitimate weapon that would be used first against Nazi Germany.In a secret September 1944 memorandum at Hyde Park, Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill ratified the shift from Germany to Japan. Their phrasing suggested that, for the moment anyway, they might have had some slight doubts about actually using the bomb, for they agreed that "it might perhaps, after mature consideration, be used against the Japanese". Recently declassified documents suggest that Tokyo probably would have surrendered without the bombings or an Allied invasion of Japan. In the moral climate of 1945, however, there were few dissenters. "When you have to deal with a beast," Truman wrote, "you have to treat him as a beast."
That's why. Democratic handling of things.
Germans had their own holocaust too, in 1944-1948. Some 2,5M people were killed, not included millions of Germans killed during the WWII. I didn't know, I am really shocked. Why? Why?"US Congressman B. Carroll Reece of Tennessee, in the House of Representatives on May 16, 1957, called it genocide.
In November and December, 1993, an exhibit on Ethnic Cleansing 1944-1948 was held at Stuart Center of De Paul University, in Chicago, where it was called an unknown holocaust."
