Peace or Walking With Warriors

[Colpy]

AND, BTW, the Americans had no reasonable choice other than to nuke Japan.....there were NO peace feelers extended by the people that ruled Japan with an iron hand, their defense resourses were huge, they were planning to fight to the last gasp, and if we HADN'T nuked them and killed 250,000 we'd have suffered at least a million casualties in an invasion........not counting the several millions of Japanese we would have killed.

Once again, you see completely in Black and White, when war is all varying shades of dark gray.............

A little info on your Japan mention, Colpy.

The Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb

This is of course the official version! It portrays the Americans in a favorable light.
My gut feeling tells me they wanted to try out the bomb. Japan presented no threat anymore and wanted to enter peace negotiations, same as Germany's Fuehrer-Successor, Admiral Karl von Doenitz, wanted. But only an unconditional surrender was acceptable to the allies.

Would the US have dropped the Bomb on Germany, if they had had it ready in time???
I've heard the American stole the Atomic bomb technology from the Germans, including their inventors.
True or false? I don't know for sure, just heresy.
