Go bring some of your fellow believers into the present, and have them leave their Semtex at home, while you are at it. If you are a True Muslim™ you might think about approaching your radicalized fellow believers and educating a few of them so that they can live in a civilized society.
Actually those statistics have been seriously challenged. And it's been argued that statistically German would take more men . And thou nuking Berlin had been considered it was considered to awful to do . So I don't buy number of men argument . The real reason was to intimidate Russia and a general feeling that "Japan Deserved it". And even then they could have gone with one of the earlier suggestions proposed and launched it on an inhabited Island off the coast .
Berlin wasn't nuked because the Germans surrendered 2 months before the Bomb was ready.
