The Battle of the Bulge was so critical that President Franklin Roosevelt considered using the still-untried atomic bomb against the German offensive. Within months, an American B-29 bomber, the Enola Gay, would fly over the Japanese city of Hiroshima and drop an atomic bomb nicknamed "Little Man." Attacks with atomic weapons ended the war with Japan, but took a terrible toll. It is estimated that 140,000 people in Hiroshima died by the end of 1945, and many others suffered in the long term from radiation exposure.

The Battle of the Bulge turned out to be the most terrible, costly battle fought by Americans in any war. American casualities numbered 76,000 and German losses may have been twice that. Would the atomic bomb have been a better weapon to stop Hitler?

		Yes. The atomic bomb would have ended the war in Europe with less loss of life.		No. The atomic bomb would have been too destructive.
