You're assuming that Hitler would have just surrendered after seeing the atomic bomb, but there's no actual indication he would have. He was fucking nuts. At some point there was an actual race to Berlin, the Wehrmacht was completely annihilated, women and kids were on the front lines and still no surrender. He would have sacrificed every last German before surrendering

We'd be having the exact same conversation about how the Japanese would've never surrendered had we not the proof otherwise.
