Then there was a captured P-51 pilot being tortured by the Japs & who had no knowledge of the atomic program. Hearing his torturers discussing what had just happened to Hiroshima & Nagasaki, he “confessed” that the U.S. had a hundred more atomic bombs ready to go, and that Tokyo was the next target. This was forwarded directly to Hirohito & the imperial war council, and they finally decided the situation was hopeless; either surrender or see Japan extinguished as a people and a culture.

Counterintelligence at its finest. God Bless that airman.

Further: in “The Rape of Nanjing,” a Chinese general visiting the sites commented, “You Americans do good work.” As the Chinese plan for Japan was to kill all males over 13, sterilize the remainder and use as slaves, while all females would also be sterilized and become comfort women. There would be no living Japanese today.

This sounds like an urban legend. I’d need to see documentation for this claim. You have an American pilot picking up conversational Japanese in a matter of days while being kept in a prison facility. Not too dang likely.
