Operation Gunnerside is a less known yet really important battle in ww2.
The nazis gained control over a norwegian powerplant in 1940, able to make nuclear weapons. The germans would have maked the first nuclear weapons by 1943, before the us.
Due to norwegian and brittish actions this powerplant was disabled in operation Gunnerside. But what if it failed?
What would have happened if the nazis had the power of the nuclear weapon? Would they bombed london for an example, and force Brittish surrender. Same for Moscow, same for Washington. Could the nazis won with the power of the nuclear weapons?

If they developed nuclear weapons, I would expect that they would do the same thing the Americans did. Bomb a medium sized city as a warning. And move to larger ones if their opponents didn't surrender.

Hiroshima was a fairly large city, 100,000 people I think, it just had to show the Japanese that the US wasn't messing around. |

It would be better if they placed it tactically rather than strategic so like nuke an entire army rather than just nuking some random city

Considering the Germans would have bombers suitable for this, some British city would be bombed. Some industrial complex in the Urals or Moscow would be bombed for the SU. Not Leningrad and Stalingrad as the Germans still had a chance to take them. Or of course, deploy it at Kursk.
There would be a cold war as the Nazis figure out how to get their bombs to America.

Why would the Germans need nuckear bombs in Africa |

There could also be the possibility that without Soviet or British reinforcement, Japan actually defeats the US |
