Walkers won't be of any help. With the attitude of the time, they would

have

been lobbing A-bombs all over Europe to stop those walkers if they had 

to.

Um, no. A-bombs would be worthless as a real tactical asset of the time.

Remember that the US had exhausted their stockpile of two atomic weapons

by the time of Japan's surrender.

Wrong. The US had exhausted their supply of ready nukes. But what they
didn't tell you in huistory class is that the US would have had their
next nuke made in ten days. There would have been another one in three
more. The scientists in the Manhattan project were able to make one or
two a week and the plan was to continue bombing Japan until Japan
surrendered or lost the capability to fight. The relavent documents were
declassified a decade or so ago and are in the National Archives in
Washington DC.

Miashara

PS. This plan was only even considered because the extimated casuilties
of a US invasion of Japan were 1 million Americans and 3 million
Japanese. Each A-Bomb was expected to kill maybe 20-30 thousand and
destroy weapons, munitions, and assorted war products factories
and the invasion was the only other viable way of ending the war.
