Re: B-29s Firebombing Japan

Even those raids no matter how horrific they were, still didn't damper the resolve of the Japanese military and its leaders to keep on fighting.

It eventually took atomic bombs to dropped on two of their cities to force a surrender, which actually saved a lot more lives on both sides if an invasion of Japan had been needed to end the war.

War ain't pretty.


Cheers,
Dave
