The atomic bomb wasn't tested till July 1945 - two months after the war with Germany was over. Also, I believe that the use of the Atomic Bomb was considered very risky. Americans had close ties to Europe and they did not want to totally destroy the German land and culture. Another consideration is that there were probably more Allied being held as prisoners in Germany than being held in Japan. So, as was the case with the bombing of Nagasaki, there would be a risk of killing some of your own soldiers who were being held as prisoners of war.
