I dont think that is true. “The short version: leaflets specifically warning about atomic bombs were created
but they weren’t dropped on either Hiroshima or Nagasaki before they were atomic bombed. ... The second one was the second draft, and was dropped, but only after the bombs were used.”

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department established a figure of 83,793 dead and 40,918 wounded and 286,358 buildings and homes destroyed.”. You have to do this first or they do it to you!! Thank GOD for Mad Dog !!!

It was my belief that Japan was, at that very moment, seeking some way to surrender with a minimum loss of 'face'. The Secretary was deeply perturbed by my attitude..."
