The two A bombs really shook up the Nips, but it was the two weeks of non-stop firebombing of Tokyo that made the Japanese government and the Emperor realize that the war for them was truly over. More than 250 K died in Tokyo in just two weeks and there was nothing left except ashes and debris. The only buildings left standing were the Emperor’s palace and a few modern buildings around it. How do I know this? I was there just after they surrendered and saw the devastating results of the fire bombs. (this makes me rather old, but my memory works fine)
So glad your here with us on FR.
I am just a kid from the mid 1930s, I figure you're from the early to mid 1920s.
Hang in there. -Tom
