The Last Bomb - U.S. Army Air Force , B-29 Raids on Japan , WWII 22050

The Last Bomb is a 1945 propaganda film mainly concerning the conventional phase of the bombing of Japan in 1945. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The film begins by describing the taking off points in Saipan, Guam, and Tinian, remarking how they have changed since American occupation. General Curtis LeMay is shown planning a daylight raid on Japan's industrial areas. A bomber squadron of B-29s then assembles and the audience rides with them through a space of ocean as wide as the US from Mexico to Canada, special attention being given to the island Iwo Jima, which is midway through the journey. The film then proceeds to the actual bombing of Japan, showing one of the B-29s dogfights with Japanese planes, and the destruction leveled on Tokyo by the B-29s' payload and subsequent strafing. When the bombers return to base, the hazards of war are assessed, particularly the problems associated with landing the large planes, which could sometimes be fatal. At the very end some color footage of the mushroom cloud at Hiroshima is shown, the narrator telling us that it saves thousands of American lives by preventing an invasion of Japan.
This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD. For more information visit www.PeriscopeFilm.com

    Fascinating look at an aspect of WW2 about which we Brits know little. It struck me too that the level of organisation and resources amassed in such a short time in order that these raids could be carried out is staggering. The Japanese belief that they could so batter the US that it would seek a negotiated peace was utterly misplaced.....their underestimation of American determination and resources was fatal.

    My dad participated in those raids out of Tinian . Years later we ended up living in one of the places that had been bombed. It had been an aircraft factory and was so over built it survived largely intact. Post war it was converted into military housing and housed 670 units. The base was fully self-contained. Base Exchange, movie theatre, shopping area, NCO and Officer's Clubs along with cafeterias and even first and second grade classrooms were in the basement. Admin was on the first level as well as three floors of apartments. I attended first and second grade there. During that time I know they excavavated at least one live bomb on base. There were a lot of protests about or presence in Japan and my dad managed to get a large round protest button with Yankee Go Home written on it in Japanese calligraphy which he wore pinned to his uniform a few times.

I met him once, when I hoped he could get me into advance Air Force ROTC at UNH despite my poor eyesight. He was sympathetic, but said he never had any luck stretching medical requirements. (thanks to cataract surgery I now have nearly 20/20 in both eyes). Quite a surprise to see him in this film!

    By the time the first atomic bomb was dropped, conventional bombing had all but wiped out Japan's military industrial capacity. It had been so thorough that very little was left for conventional bombing targets. And yet Japan fought on. Even after the first atomic bomb, Japan still didn't surrender. It took a second bomb and if that didn't work, there was a third ready to go. Estimates of total casualties on both sides if the US had to invade Japan ran into the millions. Japan still had about one million troops stationed in Japan. They also had over one thousand aircraft, likely to be used by Kamikaze pilots. The biggest source of casualties was expected to be Japanese civilians. Many today like to second guess the use of those atomic bombs. "They weren't necessary." "Japan was going to quit." "They were horrible and cruel weapons." As horrible as the casualty count was for the two atomic bombs (about 80,000 in Hiroshima and about 45,000 in Nagasaki), more civilians were killed by the two biggest fire storms from incendiary raids over Tokyo (about 225,000). Knowing how fanatically the Japanese fought to defend Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the US knew that a land battle to finally subdue Japan was going to be bloody carnage. I'm confident that using the atomic bombs was the right thing to do.

Fortunately, Japan surrendered and the meat grinder of the Pacific War was over. Total casualties for WWII, both civilian and military were horrendous. I've read that numbers run to 70-85 million, with about 50-56 million due to direct conflict and the rest due to war related famine and disease. The thought of having several million more casualties from an invasion of Japan was appalling and I'm sure the American public was fed up with the numbers of their casualties already. Using the bombs brought the war to an abrupt end and at the time, that was a blessing.

    Ozzie Wozzie Original - Instead of straffing ordinary civilian in fishing ships, why didnt they straff the emperors palace? Wayne Patterson --- Killing Emperor Hirohito's with conventional or nuclear bombing attacks on Tokyo and the Imperial Palace would have resulted in the Allies having no one left with the required authority and will to order and compel the surrender of Japan and its armed forces. Emperor Hirohito's uncle was unsuccessfully proposed to overthrow his nephew and continue the war in August 1945 through Decmber 1945, and their was a coup attempt which tried to stop the radio broadcast of Emperor Hirohito's surrender message and hold him incommunicado. With several million Japanese soldiers and sailors remaining loose in the occupied territories of China, Korea, Manchukuo, China, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific; it was imperative to have the emperor order a Japanese surrender and thereby save millions of Allied and Japanese lives at the earliest date possible. The Allies continued to employ armed Japanese forces for many months after the Japanese surrender on 2 September 1945 to maintain civil order in many of the Japanese occupied territories, until they could be replaced with local or Allied military and police services and repatriated to Japan. It should also be noted that slave labor, Allied POWs and other slaves, were used to construct bombproof underground shelters for the emperor and the military leadership in anticipation of the Allied bombardments and invasions of Japan. There were also contingency plans proposed to transfer the emperor to Japanese occupied territories in China in the event of an Allied invasion of Honshu. So, it was essential to avoid killing or deposing Emperor Hirohito in order to secure a complete Japanese surrender and cessation of hostilities.

Second, Japan launched its OPERATION ICHI-GO offensive in China for the specific purpose of establishing a new transportation route from Southeast Asia, through inland China's railroads, to Chinese and Korean ports linking to ports in the Japanese Home Islands by merchant ships and by fishing vessels. The American submarines and mines were highly effective in sinking most of the Japanese merchant ships, so the Japanese increasingly relied upon the flotilla of fishing boats and other fishing vessels to transport vital war supplies, including barrels of oil and lubricants coming from the oil fields of the Japanese occupied Dutch and British Indonesia. Accordingly, the Japanese fishing boats were just as much of a lawful military target for aerial attacks as were the oil refineries, war factories, merchant shipping, arsenals, communications facilities, and transportation facilities. Your efforts to misrepresent the fishing boats and fishermen as "civilians" who should be immune from military attacks is factually contrary to reality.

    Duane Donaldson --- Even after the second bomb was dropped they did not surrender until Russia declared war on them Wayne Patterson --- The bombing of Nagasaki and the Soviet declaration of war occurred at the same time. The Soviets posed no credible threat to the Japanese Home Islands, because the Soviet Pacific Fleet had no capacity to launch a successful invasion of the Japanese Home Islands. What little naval amphibious naval forces the Soviet Pacific Fleet possessed for operations in the Sakhalin and Kuriles amphibious operations were supplied by the U.S. Navy. Even so, the Soviets lost a sizable fraction of those small warships in just one of those attacks, leaving even fewer for any further such adventures. The Japanese surrender occurred because Emperor Hirohito feared his Imperial Government may have been overthrown by the Japanese people in a Marxist revolution as a consequence of the destruction and privation caused by the Japanese military; the war; and the American atomic bombs, firebombing raids, and naval blockade. The Emperor had been misinformed by his war ministers that the Americans could only have had time enough to produce enough weapons grade Uranium to build no more than one or two atomic bombs. The use of the Fatman atomic bomb only three days following the use of the Little Boy atomic bomb on Hiroshima convinced Emperor Hirohito that his advisors were mistaken and wrong. The Japanese scientists and military leaders failed to anticipate the invention of Plutonium, breeder reactors to produce weapons grade Plutonium, and the Plutonium atomic bombs that made it possible to produce many more Plutonium atomic bombs from the same amount of Uranium used in just one Uranium atomic bomb.

Unscrupulous KZread users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do. Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films!

    ere's the issue: this film and others like it may have been made by taxpayers, but the U.S. Government in its infinite wisdom, threw it away. Tens of thousands of films were destroyed and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like this on online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. So, in the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous KZread users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content. We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to deal with these kind of issues.
