There may have been another city other than Berlin as you want the leaders to survive so you can get a proper surrender. That’s why they didnt nuke Tokyo and why the Brits decided to stop all attempts to kill Hitler. I get the sense that dresdin would be high up the list
There also wasn’t a whole lot Tokyo left. If you make your houses of tightly connected wood and paper, and the enemy has fire bombs, you end up a hundred thousand corpses, and 40 square kilometers of ashes.
