We had far more nukes than what has been let on.

And guess what, we made sure the program was infested by commies so that the Russians would get the technology too.

(Yes, toto - Trinity was not the only nuke).

Where does one come by this privileged knowledge?

"We had far more nukes than what has been let on."

It was not a conspiracy to trade people for an Allied win.

We had exactly 2 extras at the time of VJ Day. They were given to the Navy and detonated at Bikini Atoll shortly after the war. The Navy wanted to try the Army's weapon out to test its utility for Naval Warfare, and the Department of War would not let them until hostilities were over. This was because there were no extras available at that time.

I know this because I had a relative on the Admirals Staff at Bikini for the test.

You're totally wrong. The next A-bomb would be ready in 3 more weeks. U 235 and plutonium took time be produced, it was not at all an easy procedure.

Are you nuts? General Groves and his security people were all over the place. There was a popular sign on trash cans in Los Alamos that said, "Don't throw your cigarette butts in this trash can, you might set fire to five spooks."

You know nothing of the Manhattan Project, and your ignorance should embarrass you - but it won't.

Your understanding of history is bizarre....and there was just one more atomic bomb remaining on August 10, 1945. It was in pieces spread far and wide geographically.
