Lots of info that wasn't public knowledge. The Japanese high command was willing to accept 20M+ civilian deaths in the attempt to repel the Allied forces. <br />Incredible stockpiles of weapons by Japanese. <br />HUGE stock of airplanes, and fuel, for kamakazi attacks (our intelligence people thought they had exhausted both, but they were hording for the expected fleets- 15k aircraft, many of them wooden construction that they had discovered were invisible to radar).<br /><br />Gen Marshall wanted to use our expected stock of A-bombs in '46 for clearing the invasion beachheads, and didn't want them wasted on cities. Imagine the losses to radiation of our soldiers!<br /><br />Our expected casualties were 1 million, PRIOR to what was learned about the Japanese defenses after their surrender. What was discovered scared everyone who learned of it. The invasions would have failed, due to the body count, even without radiating our soldiers.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.com
