Then the British bombed Berlin in retaliation and then Hitler ordered a full campaign against London.

Would you welcome soldiers from a nation that just nuked you, with open arms? I dont think so.  |
I'd just bomb Hitler's quarters. But remember that Enola Gay had a smooth flight over the ocean to Hiroshima. A bomber flying across Europe to Berlin with a nuclear bomb on board would be a huge risk.
The Japanese did welcome the Americans but... I wouldn't. On the other hand, everybody was tired of war. And the difference between a nuclear bomb and a firestorm like the one in Dresden is that a nuclear bomb kills you quicker and leaves a smooth terrain ready for reconstruction.
That was a joke of course, and a bad one.
