Germany was also hit by 1.3MT of bombs,
far more than the Japanese atomic bombs, and survived intact.

Apples and oranges. The number of atomic bombing targets was exactly 2 versus
how many targets in Germany?

As for surviving "intact" Germany was a shambles. The infrastucture at all
levels was destroyed or severely damaged, the Nazi bureaucracy was gone etc.
Face it, the German state was in a coma and on life support.
