Robbie, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were targeted because they were the only cities left after a couple years of bombing the entire country. There were maybe 3-4 cities left at all. we killed more civilians in the bombings leading up to the atomic bombings than the atomic bombs did.
the entire country was paper mache, it was all wood and paper buildings, and let's recall war manufacturing was not in industrial centers or even buildings at that time in Japan, manufacturing was all done in urban areas in small mom and pop shops by yup, mom, pop and kids.
