You fucking idiot, no. If 2.9 million died, and adding the wounded (usually 3-4 times more in this war), there would be NO MORE ALLIED FRONTLINE SOLDIERS LEFT.

Some perspective. You know how many Americans died in the ENTIRE war (on Pacific AND in/over Europe AND in Africa AND on Atlantic)? 416,000. And the British military dead, 1939-1945 everywhere? 382,000.

And how many frontline soldiers had Japan at home? Only 2.5 million.

Anyway, what is your source for this idiocy? A simple question.

"the occupation of japan world war ii" that makes no sense. A surrender was forced by the blockade and bombing. Then came the occupation. After world war ii.

@sjvietboy408, I meant GREETING GIFTS,

@GBONE9, yep! the kindest occupation in the history with an Atomic bomb dropped on a Japanese city and oh yeah, they gave another city of Japan a second Atomic bomb. So freaking kind...well, at least Japan is the only one in the world to get Atomic bombs as greedy gifts wouldn't you agree?

Notice in clips 0:13 to 0:17 a Jap sailor taking one last puff on his cigarette before tosses it into the sea.

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.

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.
