Why the Japanese Military wanted to fight on after(!) the 2nd Nuke (feat. D.M. Giangreco)

Hirohito saved millions of lives. It's too horrible to think what could have been the case if he had been of a Trumpian character.

Military History Visualized

Some people suggest that the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were completely unnecessary, this is quite an "interesting" view considering that the Japanese military actually wanted to continue to fight after the second Atomic bomb was dropped. In this video, we take a closer at this issue. This video features parts of an interview with D. M. Giangreco the author of Hell to Pay. Operation Downfall and the Invasion of Japan, 1945-1947.

The full interview is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4uDf...
