Einstein was always opposed to all weapons, not just nuclear. He really saw no difference between a rifle and a nuclear bomb, both killed.He had signed the warning letter (written by Leo Szilard in Einstein's name because Einstein was famous and Szilard wasn't) because he was more afraid of nuclear weapons in the hands of the Nazis than in the hands of the U.S.Even though he signed the letter, he really wished that physics did not allow the construction of nuclear bombs. But the first warning of the letter was that the U.S. had to determine that first. As it was soon shown that physics did allow it, the U.S. began work on making them just in case the Nazis were doing so also, so that we had a "defense" by attacking back.

There have been two nuclear weapons detonated as offensive weapons during war. Both nuclear bombs were dropped by the United States on Japan near the end of World War II. The first nuclear weapon (code named "Little Boy") was detonated on August 6, 1945 over Hiroshima, Japan. The second (code named "Fat Man") was on August 9, 1945 over Nagasaki, Japan. The destruction was so horrific, that the fact of the destruction has served as a deterrent to the use of nuclear weapons ever since.
