I would assume that the whole continent going red in response would have not been out of the question if that happened however.
I mean, nuking an European city would have been the ultimate permanent propaganda tool for the USSR why we need to band together against such barbarism.
I would not exist if Berlin was nuked in 1945. My grandmother was in Berlin as a refugee of war at the time. She was 4 years old. She would have died for the crime of …being in the same city as Hitler.
Millions more would have died and even more would have never been born.

Even if in that city it was literally Hitler?
And millions of German workers, with friends and family all over the continent.
It would have went beyond ideology, and it would have dwarfed the Holocaust in being the defining evil of the war as remembered by Europeans.
Just a bit of personal 2 cents on that one:
