Well there's a MAJOR difference between a standard bombing and an nuclear one.
If you imagine yourself in a city being bombed in the old fashioned way, you have a certain time to react, there is place for hope, for survival. This is probably why they kept fighting.
On the other hand, if you imagine yourself in a city targeted for a nuclear attack, the second you realize you're attacked, you're vaporized. no time to react,
NO HOPE.
I think this is the critical difference, nuclear weapons are inescapable, this is why they are so terrifying.
This must have an indescribable effect on populations...
