            Yeah no shit you didn’t bring up Tokyo; I did. What an amazing observation!

      Time was a real factor, Germany was on the verge of nuclear technology too. Many lives were spared because Hitler over extended himself. By the time the Allies were at Berlin they were on a campaign of submission.
