I don't think the USSR would have even considered surrendering had the Germans had two 15 kiloton nukes and used those against them.

Indeed. The USSR was already down ~5 million people, why would it have made a difference for the Germans to kill a few tens of thousands more? That would just make the Russians even more angry.
