Hiroshima?

I didn't say that they aren't useful. That said, if France would have had the exact same nuclear capability in May of 1940 that we had in August of 1945, they would have still lost. They could have dropped two bombs and then waited a month for production to catch up, meanwhile being overrun.

Gets back to quantity being an important element.
