"Orval Fairbairn" wrote in message news ![]() Actually, it was even MORE fortunate for Germany that the war didn't last longer -- there was the matter of "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," who probably would have visited Berlin or Hamburg, instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I doubt that. The Germans did not put up a stiff resistance like the Japanese did. The Germans did not come up with suicide planes, and never fought to the last man, like they did in Iwo Jima. Germany fought 'our' type of war. I was taught the sole reason for the A-bombs to hit Japan was the believe that the US would have to fight every man woman and child in every Japanese street, at unbelievable cost in human lives for the US armed forces.
