If they were still fighting then that would mean Steiner had done his counter attack. Obviously this would mean Germany's super secret stealth jet technology was also in use and as such no allied bomber could fly over Germany any more. And if any managed to get within sight of Berlin it would just be shot down by their 180 ton tanks that are capable of anything!
(Obligatory giant /s because people really believe this shit)
Quick question. Would shooting down a plane carrying a nuke cause the nuke to go off?
Sounds like one hell of a kamikaze run
No, the detonator of an atomic bomb is a little bomb itself. The energy required to to detonate is much greater than anyplaincrash could cause. I find it amusing (relatively, we are still talking about weapons of mass destruction) that a thermonuclear bomb need a regular atomic bomb to trigger, wich needs a regular bomb to detonate. So we are just stacking bombs on bombs on bombs to make them stronger.
Just to clarirify, the explosion needed to set off a nuke is far from little. Am implosion type nuke uses a bit over 2 tons of high explosives to set off the core.
Nukes are difficult enough to detonate intentionally, so no, it probably won't happen. I mean it probably will detonate, but it'll just be the conventional explosives in it. The fissile material that was supposed to explode will instead get thrown all over the place.
Nah, or the broken arrow incidents wouldn't be as obscure as they are
Short answer: No. Long answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooo
