Happy Hiroshima Day!

[Unkotare]

We had the bomb

We were going to win anyway. Was is necessary to kill 100,000 civilians in Hiroshima and then kill 70,000 in Nagasaki a few days later?

As opposed to at least another million deaths between Russia, Japan, and the US over the next year of ruthless fighting.

Speculation.

 

[peach174]

A day that shall live in infamy.

Shame.

Mass murder of defenseless women and children, is nothing short of the most heinous thing a nation can do.

It's too bad they believed their Emperor ,rather than the warning fliers the USA dropped .

Nope. Just an extension of the fighting and casualties on Okinawa.

You don't understand the relationship between Okinawa and the main islands of Japan in those days, do you?

Yes I do.
Do you?

The USA decision was a political one against some of the military leaders.
The fact was, after the 1st bombing they refused to surrender despite what the military thought.
It was the 2 nd bombing that ended the War.

The word is “Japanese,” and you miss the point (of course).

All I need to know is a million Americans lived to see the next Christmas.

You may know that, but it’s absolutely wrong. Nothing but propaganda to cover for Truman’s heinous war crime. He should have been hung like the Nazis at Nuremberg.

Don’t screw with America.

Nothing wrong with killing civilians to encourage maniacs to surrender.

Not all that far off.

What is considered the most accurate casualty estimate after the Battle of Okinawa was the Shockley Report. He was asked to prepare it because Secretary Stimson was questioning those that he had been getting from the military. Especially when most of the ones he had read prior to operations in Saipan, Guadalcanal, Okinawa, and almost every single other campaign in the Pacific were horribly inaccurate and had casualties many times higher.

And his report was sobering to many in the War Department. He estimated that Operation Downfall (the invasion of the Home Islands) would result in over 2 million Allied casualties, and between half a million and one million Allied deaths.

And the numbers for the Japanese were even more horrific. With between five and ten million Japanese deaths.

And that is not even counting the suicides. Over 1,000 Japanese civilians, mostly farmers and fishermen killed themselves and their entire families at Saipan. Roughly 1 in 25 elected suicide over surrender, and that was among a population of agrarian peasants on an island. Does anybody really think that the results would have been any different on the much more fanatical home islands?
