"AGNEUGNEU LI ZAMERIKIN Y ZON BOMBARDÉ HIROSHIMA "

Ouient disons que c'est un tout, la chute de Berlin + guerre avec les soviétiques + reprise de certains pays du pacifique par les amerlocs + les nukes... Ca fait beaucoup

Je dis pas que les amerlocs ont gagné cette guerre tout seul. Mais nier le fait qu'ils y ont grandement participés ça serait se voiler la face.

Paul Tibbetts ushered in Captain William Dick Parsons who had just weeks ago witnessed the Trinity nuclear bomb test in New Mexico. William Parsons would tell a small audience of Airmen " the bomb you were going to drop is something new in the history of warfare it is the most destructive weapon ever produced. We think it will knock out everything within a three mile area. On August 6th a flight surgeon handed Colonel Tibbetts 12 cyanide capsules to be distributed to his crew in the case that they were shot down so there would be no prisoners. After the bomb was dropped, Sergeant Robert Shumard, assistant enginner, " There was nothing but death in that cloud, all those Japanese souls ascending to heaven. " The radio operator Richard Jr Nelson the youngest crew member at only 20 years old would deliver the news back to headquarters :" Results, excellent. " Co pilot captain Alvin Lewis : " My god, what have we done? " 100 000 people were killed immediately by the blast of the first bomb. 3 days later on Nagasaki, the bomb named Fat man was released, hitting north of the industrial center obliterating the city. 300 000 people died, almost all civilians. Many close calls have been recorded teaching children at a young age that the use of the bombs in Japan actually saved lives and was therefore a lesser of two evils. Basically trying to explain that obliterating 300 000 civilians was justificed at sometimes. There were eight five-star generals and Admirals during World War II comprising the highest ranking officers of the U. S military of these. 7 on these 8 believed that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were ultimately unnecessary.
Eisenhower said : " The Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn't necessary to hit them with that awful thing. " Chester Nimiz, Commander in Chieff of the US Pacific Fleet, said : " The atomic bomb played no decisive part from a purely military point of view in the defeat of Japan. " The use of atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender. " Fleet Admiral Ernest Joseph King : " I didn't like the atom bomb or any part of it. An effective Naval blockade would, in the course of time, have starved the Japanese into submission through lack of oil rice medicines and other essential materials. " Fleet Admiral William Halsey Jr : " The first atomic bomb was an unnecessary experiment. It was a mistake to ever drop it. They had this toy and they wanted to try it out, so they dropped it. " It killed a lot of Japs, but the Japs had put out a lot of peace feelersthrough Russia long before. " Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief ot Staff to the Commander in Chief : " It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effect of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons. " General of the Army and Air Force Henry H. Arnold said : " It always appeared to us that atomic bomb or no atomic bomb the Japanese were already on the verge of collapse. "
On May 30th 1945 former president Herbert Hoover sent a memo to President Harry Truman urging him to change the surrender terms to allow Japan to keep their Emperor, the one condition keeping them from surrendering. Douglas MacArthur having read the memo called it : A wise statesmanlike document and had it been put into effect would have obviated the slaughter at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in addition to much of the destruction of the island of Honshu by our bomber attacks. That the Japanese would have accepted it and gladly I have no doubt. "

Tokyo for example had suffered the single deadliest bombing raid in all of human history killing a hundred thousand people aside from Tokyo cities across the country were being destroyed. Hiroshima was chosen as a Target because it was one of the few remaining cities that wasn't destroyed by bombing. In May of 1945 acting Secretary of State Joseph Grew became a strong advocate of relaying to the Japanese that they would be able to keep their Emperor if they surrendered. Grew met the president to change the surrender terms. Truman told him to convene a meeting. Chiefs of Staff ans secretaries of the war were here, including James Forrestal, the secretary of Navy. The meeting was being helf on May 29th 1945. In a memorandum from the meeting, Joseph Grew noted that " the meeting lasted for an hour and in the course of the discussion it became clear that Mr Stimpson, MrForrestal and General Marshall were all in accord with the principal but for certain military reasons ot divulged it was considered inadvisable for the president to make such a statement just now. "Grew wrote in his memoirs that after the meeting " I duly reported this to the president and the proposal for action was for the time being dropped. " Joseph Grew in " Turbulent Era ( 1952 ). Secretary of the war Henry Stimson would write in his diary what was really going on" It was an awkward meeting because there were people present in the presence of whom I could not discuss the real feature which would govern the whole situation, namely S1. " S1 being the code name for the atomic bomb. In his autobiography co-authored with McGeorge Bundy, Stimson declared " It is possible, in the light of the final surrender, that a clearer and earlier exposition of American willingness to retain the emperor would have produced an earlier ending to the war. This course was earnestly advocated by Gru and his immediate associate during May 1945.. "

" The United States by its delay in stating its position had prolonged the war. " By July the situation was so dire in Japan Stimson wrote the president in a top-secret memo to Truman on July 2nd, 1945 : " We have the following enormously favorable factors on our side factors much weightier than those we had against Germany. Japan has no allies her Navy, is nearly destroyed. She is terribly vulnerable to our concentrated air attacks upon her crowded cities, industrial and food resources. She has against her not only the anglo-american forces but the rising forces of China and the ominous threat of Russia. I believe Japan is susceptible to reason in such a crisis to a much greater extent than is indicated by our current press and other current comment. Japan is not a nation composed wholly of mad Fanatics of an entirely different mentality from ours. On the contrary she has within the past Century shown herself to possess extremely intelligent people. She has not only built up powerful armies and navies she has maintained an honest and effective National Finance and respected position in many of the sciences in which we pride ourselves. I think the Japanese nation has the mental intelligence to recognize the Folly of a fight to the Finish. " Frederick Olivi in the other hand, said that the USA had no chooice but to drop the atomic bombs because of the " fanatical defense capabilities of the Oriental. " On the Postdam conference, Truman, Churchill and Stalin meet. Truman was later informed that the Soviet Union would enter to war against Japan in 15th August. A 20th June war department report also informed Truman that " an entry of Soviet Union into the war would finally convince the Japanese of the inevitable defeat. "

Mouais. T'avais pas mal de généraux américains qui disaient que ce n'est pas nécessaire de les nuke.

According to reports from Joint Chiefs of staff as early as April : " Once convinced of the inevitability of defeat, it is possible that a government could be formed that would sign and could enforce a surrender instrument. " " Report by Joint Staff Planners. 924/15, Subj : Pacific Strategy, 25 April 1945. Japan tried to sought piece with USSR, in vain, as the Soviet chose to string them along. Foreign Minister Togo had relayed his ambassador to Moscow. The Postdam conference culminated with the Postdam declaration stating that if the Japanese didn't proclaim now the unconditionnal surrender of all Japanese Armed Forces, they would face prompt and utter destruction. Joseph Grew tried to maneuver the language to include the retention of the Emperor. He even got a sentence included in a draft of the declaration in article 12, which said that surrender may include a " constitutionnal monarchy under the present dynasty " By the time the Japanese received the Declaration on 27th July however, this sentence had been deleted. Regarding the status of the Japanese emperor, the Japanese publicly annoucned that they would ignore the Declaration. On June 1944? General Bonner Fellers who led psychological warfare against the Japan Empire, wrote a report detailing the status of the Emperor to the Japanese people. : " hanging of the Emperor to the Japanese people to them would be comparable to the crucifixion of Christ to us.

" In his memoirs published in 1955, Truman revealed : " Anwious as we were to have Russia in the war against Japan, the experience at Postdam now made them determined that I would not allow the Russians any part in the control of Japan. As I reflected the situation during the trip home, I made up my mind that General McArthur would be given complete command and control after victory in Japan. We were not going to be disturbed by Russian tactics in the Pacific. Force is the only thing the Russians understand. And while I was hopeful that Russia might someday be persuaded to work into cooperation for peace, I kenw that the Russians should not be allowed to get into any control of Japan. " " At no time from 1941 to 1945did i ever hear it suggested by the president or by any other responsible of the government that atomic bomb should not be used in the war " said Henry Simson.
