Honestly, it probably would’ve been used on troop concentrations rather than a city. The reason cities were chosen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were because, absent an active invasion, there were no heavy troop concentrations of the sort that would have emerged as a front developed in an invasion of the Japanese home islands.
Was there even close to enough precision to try to bomb Obersalzberg as a statement? Nuclear or no, it was not a huge target and I know it had anti aircraft defenses
Yeah the only question is which German cities would’ve been nuked, not if
Which German cities were left to be nuked, even. Many were smoldering rubble by the end of the war.

Enola Gay dropped it’s nuke from 30,000 feet which as fas as I understand was well out of the practical range of AA guns at the time.
I would guess that altitude makes targeting an issue but obviously precision with that type of destructive weapon isn’t really a concern.
