Because Germany would have spread out their production facilities and armies all over the Europe. So, for the nukes to have any effect (instead of pissing people off) you'd want to hit targets that matter. It would be different from Japan, where Japan was isolated in it's island where it could've been nuked over and over again without collateral damage in terms of other nations. But if you'd want to hit germany hard with nukes, and I mean HARD, there'd be collateral damage to the countries next to it. Which would, like I already said, give a huge propaganda asset to the germans to say the americans are here to kill every one no matter if you're german or not. You cant win the war with nukes (well you can if you destroy the whole europe, but that's out of question) and it would be soon necessary to deploy troops to the ground. Would you welcome soldiers from a nation that just nuked you, with open arms? I dont think so.
