So they have a greater psychological effect. But if the population's morale was high after victories, it would probably not make a lot of people immediate defeatists.
It's not nessecarily true that a single bomber is easier to intercept than a large formation. Japan couldn't intercept the bombers because their fuel situation demanded that they decline to sortie against anything but large raids, while Germany would have plenty of fuel given a victory in the European land war, not to mention more planes and experienced pilots. Additionally, Germany had better radars which could detect the incoming raid. The fact that delivering a nuclear bomb to Germany would be so much more dangerous would probably have deterred the US from even sending such an attack, because it could very well be captured by the Germans.
Also, as I said, a successful invasion of Britain which would most likely have come following a victory on the mainland would mean it nearly impossible to bomb Germany with any sort of ordenance.
Eh, this is going nowhere. Suit yourself.
