The nukes were being developed for our enemies, including Germany. If they hadn't been defeated by the time the bombs were ready I am absolutely sure they would have been the first target. Remember, it was a race to see who would get the nuclear bomb first, US or Germany. The German scientists were working hard to develop a bomb to drop on us and we were developing a bomb to drop on them first. Remember that our scientists were mostly German who escaped and went to work for us.
In fact I'm confident in saying that Germany was the original target and Japan secondary.
