@ShaneGentryRobb Let's not forget that at the battle of midway it was considered that the Japanese lost the war.

Because of the intense B-29 bombing of the Japan’s mainland, the Japanese had to move the A-bomb project in a deep cave in a mountain near Konan, a lost of three months in the transfer, otherwise Japan could had the A-bomb three months before the Hiroshima’s bomb.

Watch “Japan's Atomic Bomb”, “U-234 (HITLER'S LAST U-BOAT)” and “Japanese Super Sub” on youtube.

In 1946, Atlanta Constitution reporter David Snell alleged that the Japanese had successfully tested an A-bomb named Genzai Bakuden on a ship off the coastal city of Konan (now Hungnam, a major WMD research center in N. Korea) in the Sea of Japan on 12 August 1945, three days before Japan’s surrender. Later, all unfinished A-bombs, secret papers and plans were destroyed just hours before the Soviet occupation.

The Japanese A-bomb would be delivered to the target by a kamikaze pilot launched from Japan’s newest secret weapon, the I-400, an aircraft carrier submarine which able to carry three airplanes and travel to anywhere in the world and return.

After Japan surrendered on 15 August 1945, the US Army found five Japanese cyclotrons, one of them the largest in the world. All were destroyed and dumped into Tokyo Harbor.

At the request of the Japanese Army, German cargo submarine U-234 first and only mission was to delivery 560kg of uranium oxide and other advanced weapons technology (including a dismantled world’s first jet-fighter and V2 rocket) to Japan, on board also two senior Japanese Army officers and three German military specialists. Fortunately U-234 surrendered to US forces in the Atlantic following Germany's surrender on 14 May 1945 and the two Japanese committed suicide.

The Japanese Navy’s nuclear weapon program called the F-Go Project, headed by Bunsaku Arakatsu at the Imperial University, Kyoto. His team included future Nobel Prize physicist Hideki Yukawa.

While these researches were in progress, Unit 731 was conducting human radiation experiments by exposing healthy victims to hours of x-ray; and the Japanese Army and Navy were conducting exploration of uranium ore in Indochina, Manchuria and Korea.

[TectonicPower]

It was a real possibility for Japan to have A-bomb before US. During WWII, Japan had two teams of top scientists working on the A-bomb project.

The Japanese Army's nuclear weapon program called the Ni-Go Project was conducted at the Nuclear Research Laboratory at Riken Institute, headed by Yoshio Nishina. By 1941, over 100 researchers were working in the Laboratory.

America had done right thing. What was the aim of that war? I can say , "Invasion and implatation of dictatorship".Talking (or supporting )about Hiroshima or Nagasaki is a sin against all humanity kind and insult those(militaries) who fought for the actual peace and gave the best of themselves ( their life) for protecting you.

[bost0nz]

@cdiuba but you've got to remember that the enemy felt the exact same way, they thought that they were doing the right thing just like we did, what about all the civilians of hiroshima and nagaski? they certainly didn't start the war, google sadako sasaki.

[RebmaRendrag]

You guys shouldn't blame the US for what they did. Japan obviously weren't prepared to surrender and without dropping the bombs, the war could've continued for much longer. No, before you ask, I am not from the US, but I still feel that they did not do anything wrong.

[lukebccb]

@RebmaRendrag: there's still a lot of debate TO THIS DAY about just how close Japan was to surrendering. We know that the Hiroshima bomb didn't sway the "war faction" in the Japanese government and that group wanted Japan to hold out and force an American invasion of Kyushu where the war faction was certain they could bloody the Americans into negotiated peace but the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and Nagasaki destroyed what argument the "war faction" had.

[ShaneGentryRobb]

@lukebccb Japan probably would have surrendered after the Soviet Union made some progress following its invasion of Japanese colonies.. However, there really is no doubt that the nuclear blasts definitely ended up saving lives. Even a partial invasion of mainland Japan would have been an absolute bloodbath. And if we hadn't have had the atomic weapon to force the surrender you bet we would have been carpet bombing everything within 10 miles of the invasion point.

[arvee1128]

oh, I'm sorry.

what I'm saying is that they are demons,

that's why they're proud of that kind of doings.

[bonovoxruiz]

@arvee1128

You would be speaking Japanese right now if it weren't for the Americans. Try reading a history book. It won't hurt you. The Japanese were working on their own atomic bomb and would have used it in a second. Too bad they didn't drop one on Manila. You wouldn't be so naive then about war.

[killerchipmunkattack]

@bost0nz I think it was right 2 drop the atomic bomb, but it's still abit sad. At 5:53 the guy was laughing about it, and I dont think thats very nice cos there are lots of innocent pple who died too. If they got all the Jap soldiers, and Jap doctors from Unit 731, and bombed all those pple, then that would be nicer

[83hickey]

Yankee scum

[payoxxx]

this people are a fucking son of the bitch. how they could be proud of this?

[arvee1128]

@payoxxx dimonyo nga sila ehh.

ganun talaga.

[payoxxx]

@arvee1128 what??



[TeamRedz]

@payoxxx um because they won the war and they didnt know the us dropped a bomb in japan back then?
