There are different Opinions whether or not the use of nuclear Weopens was necessary. However, the Bombs were used on mainly civilian targets. Thats the main Problem in my opinion. A military Target would have been sufficient to demonstrate the Power. And force Japan to surrender.
But i´m judging this by todays Standards. Back then both Sides commited terrible war crimes which should not be forgotten, otherwise terrible Things like that might happen again.
Just my opinion
