@Warsie You speak the truth. FDR knew about the impending attack because he was a warmonger who did everything he could to provoke it. He needed an event to galvanize support for war in a country with 90% of the population were strict isolationists. And FDR insisted on an "unconditional surrender" from both Germany & Japan. This act of a belligerence eliminated any incentive for a coup d'etat within Japan or Germany bc even that would not stop war.

@Echeque5 The Emperor is lucky to have stayed on his throne. He was much more involved in planning for the war than was admitted to the public.

@Warsie The Nazis exploded a radiation bomb in Ohrdruf, March 3-4, 1945.

Forced the usage of the atomic bombs? Nigga please, the surrender could have been done WITH CONDITIONS then. The US was too full of itself to allow that. Hell, the US was too full of itself to not accept the peace after the Battle of Midway. Fuck, the US was too full of itself to compromise with Japanese needs before Pearl Harbor even happened the Japanese made a hell of a lot of attempts for peace with the United States. The US shrugged it off and acted asspained when they got hit.

"our soldiers" would not have been hit with radiation bombs.

you are looking at shit stained germans
the worst of the worst lowlife german vermin idiots they're all dead now & thats very good the cowards

One of the conditions was whether they'd allow the Emperor to stay on the throne. It's unfair to say retroactively that Truman and the Joint Chiefs of Staff should have known what to do. It was believed that the Japanese were working on germ warfare, radiation warfare and other diabolic achievements. If the US had invaded Japan, along with British troops, our soldiers would surely have been attacked with these weapons.

@llokkee if they were dropped to "end the war" then by your own logic they saved lives. the war only needed to last an extra month or so to have exceeded the death toll of the atom bombs to say nothing of the death toll that an invasion would have brought on.
@balfour1100
How would Germany have taken Stalingrad or even Moscow? German supply lines were cut off and German troops died by the thousands due to the Russian winter and starvation. Stalingrad was the first of many, of Hitler's military blunders. The UK should be grateful that Hitler was a military stalwart. Paulus wanted to retreat after the Soviets pushed back his 6th army but Hitler gave orders to fight until the last man. Foolish, fatal, and militarily incompetent, Hitler sealed his fate

@manpractice - What you mention is a very well known fact, regarding the Imperial Emperor of Japan wishing to surrender, but with *conditions*. He *refused* to surrender unconditionally and those were the terms. This then forced the use of the atomic bombs that Japan had been repeatedly warned about, but chose to ignore.It was their *own fault*. The atomic bombs didn't just save the lives of over 1 million American GI's, but also millions upon millions of Japanese lives. Historical fact.
