We killed far, far more people and destroyed more cities during the fire bombings earlier that year (Mar-April) yet the two a-bombing are the ones that still upset them the most.

“We killed far, far more people and destroyed more cities during the fire bombings earlier that year (Mar-April) yet the two a-bombing are the ones that still upset them the most.”

Same thing with Germany. “Nuke” is just a trigger word. Those folks in Dresden are just as dead as the ones in Hiroshima.

In the liberal mind one death caused by a nuclear bomb is worse than 100,000 killed by conventional bombing.

Destroying every city in Japan was not considered that much of a serious problem (by the Japanese). However, the plutonium bomb meant we had a functioning reactor, and the uranium bomb meant we had extensive uranium enrichment facilities working ~ exactly as had been reported to them by their spy in Chicago a couple of years earlier.

Their own atom bomb program was bogged down inasmuch as their primary development facility in Harbin had "blown up" along with almost all their primary atomic scientists.

On the other hand the Japanese jet plane and long range bomber programs were not bogged down ~ they still had hopes.

The plutonium totally demoralized the guys at the top.
