I see the difference in challenge as far as US daytime conventional bombing versus nuclear bombing. However, I really see very little difference between the a-bombs versus the nighttime bombing done by both Germany and the UK. There were many times when the Luftwaffe wasn't even sure what city the RAF targeted in a bomb raid.
