I do not believe the effects of the bomb were known at that time hence the appearance of ignorance or lack of consideration to troops during testing. I do not think it would have been used against Germany due to it's obvious state of collapse had the bomb been ready. I do not think the "white" factor would have been considered. Japan on the other hand was still dangerous and had plenty of fight behind it. One hundred thousand 'American' lives were on the line. That was the factor.
