Friedrich the link i was trying to show was that Roosevelt was up to 1943 make the germans pay heavily for the war. I wasn't comparing i was stating that Rossevelt at least was willing to make germany pay be it in physical military damage during the war i.e. the atomic bomb or in post war economic terms i.e. making it an agrian society.
I think had stalin had the bomb he probably would have used it on the germans. Remember it was a war of annihilation between germany and the soviets unlike between the west and germany.
As andy sated the allies did not no much about the effects that the weapons would have anyway. they simply viewed it as another special bomb like upkeep, tall boy and grand slam. Also the british were quite willing to fire bomb german cities.
