Be careful for what you wish for.

I always wonder why the Germans didn't stop to France when they saw that they couldn't break into Britain.

The answer seems to be Genocide, and debts.

quick edit: Also, and that I already knew, Nazis are stupid and prideful.

It wasn't until the dropping Firebombing of Tokyo (which killed more people and demoralized the populace as much as, if not more than, the atomic bombs) that Japan began considering surrender. My undergrad professor was also adamant that the Japanese surrendered only because Russia entered the war against them. The Japanese also stereotyped the Russians and absolutely did not want them invading the mainland.

I watched a Netflix documentary about WW2 and they were saying that the bomb did have much influence on the Japanese leadership to surrender to the American. It was when the Russian tried to invade them that they choose what they saw as the lesser of two evil.
