I'm currently toying with a timeline in which Japan does not attack Pearl Harbour, and I'd like some advice.
America has not entered the war against Germany, but continues to supply Britain with Lend-Lease. Also, Britain and the USA have been co-operating to try and build an atomic bomb. The atomic bomb project is a success and in October 1945 Britain takes delivery of two A-bombs.
The situation at the time the bombs are delivered is as follows. Italy surrendered in July. British troops occupy the Balkans (including Romania) and are engaging German forces on the plains of Hungary. The USSR has started slowly pushing the Germans back along the Eastern Front. It appears very likely that Germany will lose the war (they are fighting a losing battle on two fronts, three if you count defending Germany against British bombers, they are being outproduced, and they no longer have any source of oil).
What would, or should, Britain do with the A-bombs? Hitler is based in the Wolfsschanze in this TL, BTW, and not in Berlin - although he might visit Berlin for some reason or other. Britain does not have air superiority over Germany yet, although they are getting there. Assume the bombing of German cities is about a year behind OTL.
