Well it was before satellites and effective radar, plus the japs came from the North. Even if they knew the japs were in North Pacific they still might have thought they were on a naval exercise.

1266524 2012-03-26 01:34:00 There was no 'Declaration of War' by the Japs, it was just a sneaky attack. They deserved everything they got, especially for their treatment of POWs in Thailand , Burma and other places. From my perspective Berlin should also have got an A-bomb. Germany is one country in the world I will never visit. Richard (739)

I agree, its a pity the yanks didnt have a nuke ready a bit earlier so they could fry a bit of German ass, teach them not to invade Poland and other countries. One also for Rome, Bucharest and Budapest

So, using your logic, there's a few American cities have got it coming then?

1266527 2012-03-26 07:05:00 Mmm. Dunno, history is written by the winners, seen a few docos on it, they were losing already, yes they were persistent, but as to whether it was necessary to drop 2 on the cities is another thing.

Still history is history and no-one will know now.

And it's pretty sickening really, humans penchant for mistreating each other and the justifications they come with for it.
While there would have been about the same number of casualties either way it was far preferable that it was the Japs that took the brunt of it with the two bombs especailly when you look at just how brutal they were and the fact that it was them that instigated it.

I'm going to assume you are referring to the American investors, They have bought more chunks of land then the chinese, and their interests are purely their own and their intention is profit.

Was that while Russia was winning WW2 and saving the yanks, the british, hell, the entire allied forces and their respective populations.

God Bless those Ruskies.

1) American, Canadian, British and German mainly because of language. No dis-respect for the Chinese as we had very good Chinese friends, for whom we did market garden work for.

2) Field Marshall Montgomery wanted to take Berlin before the "Ruskies" but were in fact held back, someone on here maybe to substantiate that for me.

Don't forget God blesses us all and not only the Russians, sinners' as we all are.

As an aside, I believe it was a New Zealander who saved England from the Luftwaffe during the blitz, the Air Marshall who now has a statue in London.

No, also most countries only have one capital city.

1266531 2012-03-26 20:56:00 yes all allied forces were told not to cross into Berlin but to stop and let te Russian forces take it, this is a well known fact as is Russia actually winning the war. The real hero of the war was the Kiwi plastic surgeon who saved so many airforce lives gary67 (56)
