This episode gives lie to the BS claim that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were unnecessary because Japan "would have surrendered anyway" by the fall of 1945. To the contrary, the Japanese public had undergone years of bogus propaganda telling them of great victories at Midway, Guadalcanal and everywhere else they were getting their clocks cleaned until November 1944, when Japan proper started being hit with B-29 raids. These raids were virtually ineffectual until late February 1945 because the USAAF had to deal with the previously unknown Jetstream which carried 200 knot headwinds reducing B-29 ground speeds to a near standstill. In February 1945, Curtis LeMay's orders that bombing be carried out from 5000 to 10000 feet began having effect and February 24, 1945 marked the first time Tokyo and other cities were pasted with USAAF incendiary raids. Until then, the Japanese people believed they'd been winning the war and it wasn't until March 9-10, 1945, after 100,000 people died in the firestorm that burned 16 square miles of Tokyo, that the first signs of war weariness began to set in with the populace. Nonetheless, after 65 Japanese cities had been leveled by conventional bombing in the coming months, there was still no sign that the Japanese government was ready to surrender. Japan ignored the Potsdam Proclamation of July 24, 1945 which promised Japan's "prompt and utter destruction" and instead sent emissaries to Moscow seeking to conclude a separate peace with the Soviets that would allow Japan to remain in occupation of Manchuria, French Indochina and Korea. Regardless of how the Japanese people felt, the bombing of Hiroshima was met with silence by the Japanese and its six member War Council (plus the Emperor) remained deadlocked after the first bomb on August 6, the Russian invasion of Manchuria on August 8, and the second bomb dropped on Nagasaki August 9. In particular, three members of the War Council were adamant that they were willing to see ten million Japanese civilians killed fighting with hoes, shovels and sharpened bamboo alongside defense forces in the event Japan was invaded. The Emperor himself later wrote that the atom bombs were "necessary" to his decision to cast his deciding vote against the warmongers, break the deadlock, and prepare Japan to "endure the unendurable". Note that in the Emperor's recorded speech to the people, the words "surrender" or "defeat" were never mentioned, only that the war had not necessarily progressed "in Japan's favor", that the US was using a cruel new weapon that would result in Japan's destruction, and that Japan had therefore decided to call an end to the fighting. Of course, all of this is something that lefty college history professors everywhere and the Japanese people and government seem to have forgotten these days. They now expect the US to "apologize" for nuking them; despite the fact that Japan was responsible for the deaths of perhaps 20 million Chinese, Laotian, Cambodian, Korean, Filipino, Javanese, and other Pacific Islanders and east Asian people beginning in 1931. In contrast, perhaps a little over a million Japanese soldiers, sailors and civilians were killed in the war they started in 1931. I'm out

I’m not sure why people are thinking that the only way to live is following this man. He has taken freedom away from his people and !!!unless they have completely been brainwashed? He has done it with the fear of not following wouldn’t be very wise and that’s how he became so powerful. And with that power he lost his mind and could never understand what is was like to be a normal family. He was in a war with his own people who were not able to fight against him. I feel sorry for his army what other chance did he give them fight for him or be shot for their disobedience. So very sad. We must never give any one person the power to control free people and freedom itself. Yours sincerely a normal citizen

"The Fuhrer And Supreme Commander Of The Armed Forces. The Fuhrer's Headquarters. 16th July, 1940. 7 copies Directive No. 16 -- On Preparations For A Landing Operation Against England Since England, in spite of her hopeless military situation, shows no signs of being ready to come to an understanding, I have decided to prepare a landing operation against England, and, if necessary, to carry it out. The aim of this operation will be to eliminate the English homeland as a base for the prosecution of the war against Germany and, if necessary, to occupy it completely." But as we both know the first phase of the operation, that being the battle of Britain, was smashed, meaning the rest of the plan was academic. The operation had been stopped in its first phase. What would be described in common parlance as "A resounding British victory".

"Battle of Britain" flopped so badly because it was a boring racist film celebrating an imperialist war at the height of the counterculture movement. Casting middle-aged actors as wartime pilots was so stupid. My grandfather served in the RAF during World War II, and he hated the flop.
@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684Күн бұрын
So you had one grandfather in the RAF and another in the Luftwaffe, as you mentioned in a comment on another thread Mark? Complete and utter BS.... You have only to see the large number of comments celebrating the greatness of the 55 year old classic film, and how good it is to see British imperialists who had outlawed human slavery in the 19th century utterly kicking the overconfident arses of nazi imperialists who had reintroduced it into Europe in the 20th century. Remember the oldest active pilot in RAF Fighter Command during the battle of Britain was 43 year old Group Captain Stanley Flamank Vincent who flew with both 229 and 257 Sqds during the battle. He was actually the ONLY RFC/RAF pilot to shoot down enemy aircraft in both world wars, while the oldest "pilot" to appear in the "battle of Britain" film was Christopher Plummer, who was 40 years old when the film was produced. P.S Please keep commenting how shit this film is... You know I love to see you like King Canute, ordering the tide of public opinion to stop pissing in your gormless face.

During this time, the British were inundated with commie spies in their intelligence services. The spies were all highly-educated aristocratic upper-crust ‘gentlemen’ that held luxury beliefs about the virtues of communism and held important positions in government. They were seen as trustworthy solely due to their backgrounds and breeding, and they betrayed King and country by selling out the UK’s secrets to Stalin. It’s primarily why the US stopped sharing all of its intel with the UK in the 50s. The UK intel services were a massively leaky boat then. Fortunately for everyone, the Brits learned their lesson and cleaned up their mess. But it took many years for the CIA to trust MI-6 enough to share our intel again.

Nothing like the love and power of film, during this conflict, save perhaps the Civil war, and Hitler's strategic incompetence. Now picture this, the Berlin airlift but with bombers and fighters over the coast of England, as 100,000 troops with light arms were landed, 50,000 paratroopers dropped in. Result, world wide submission of an Empire., suing for peace., but noooooo! Hitler and his cronies were little more than power thirsty homicidal maniacs., if they were not taking loot and booty by force, they actually wrote it off to luck and genetic superiority and not skill., how was that for a work ethic.

Once trimmed (that is adjusting the flight surfaces to counteract any underlying tendancy of an aircraft to bank, dive or climb) then the Spitfire could maintain its flight attitude with hands and feet of the controls, which is very often not possible with a majority of aircraft where continual small corrections need to be made to keep the aircraft in straight and level flight.

The hybrid carrier-battlehip idea was the most off-the-wall, and overall dumbest idea the Japanese put forward. None of those hybrids could launch enough planes to take on a fleet. All they did was to make the ships almost useless. They certainly cut down on the battleships maximum effectiveness. Desperate times call for even more desperately stupid means.
