Do you have any evidence what so ever that stacks up against the evidence, witness accounts, and even German records of the killings? There's a vast difference

There's a vast difference between the atomic bombings and the Holocaust. That difference is purpose. The Holocaust was perpetrated against people who didn't really do anything, either on an individual level or a group level. By contrast, the atomic bombs were dropped on a country which had been waging a brutal war of aggression for a decade, and they were dropped in an attempt to avoid a brutal invasion. I don't think people realize what Operation Downfall would have been like. We're talking tens of millions of Japanese casualties, including civilians (in prior invasions like Okinawa, civilians committed mass suicide rather than be conquered) and millions of Allied casualties. We ordered 500K Purple Hearts for that operation, and we're still using that stockpile 65 years later.
