Losing two more cities on top of the 67 already disappeared was not why he surrendered. What caused the emperor to capitulate was that the Soviet Red Army had just wiped out Japan's best army, the one in Manchuria, in Northern China. The Russians annihilated 80,000 of Japan's finest in just ten days, and was heading for the Yellow Sea coast to launch an invasion of Japan. The thought of 100,000 Red Army troops swarming over what was left of Japan was why the emperor surrendered, not because the US torched two more cities to the ground, on top of the previous 67. This is another statement of fact that is denied by the West's Big Lie Propaganda Machine (BLPM).
Back here in France, there is another dirty, dark secret about D-Day, and that is the Allies gratuitously massacred tens of thousands of French citizens in Normandy, leading up to and after June 6th, 1944. The United States and Britain committed war crimes, by needlessly bombing many cities in Normandy, when they knew that they were not killing German troops, nor destroying their materiel.
These genocidal D-Day bombings caused the unnecessary death of 50,000 French citizens, war crimes all. American soldiers also found the time to rape 3,620 French girls and women before and after the invasion. Yank troops also raped 2,420 English lassies behind the lines, and 11,040 German ladies on the front. Given that only one out of ten rapes is ever reported, this shocking truth was undoubted grossly underreported (HERE), as it was in Japan, Korea, Vietnam and everywhere US soldiers are stationed.
All in all, the Allies bombed over 1,500 cities in France, most of them at least 75% leveled. Along with the 50,000 aforementioned massacred, 100,000 French were injured and millions were left homeless and starving, having lost 420,000 homes, with another 890,000 partially destroyed. The occupying Germans killed around 30,000 Frenchmen, making them look like honorable saints, compared to the bloodthirsty Allies.
Having come to Arromanches many times since 1988, I can attest that the French here are in complete denial about the Allied genocide. It is telling that the English version of Wikipedia lists 50,000 killed, whereas the same page in French records only 20,000 (HERE and HERE). A humiliating and shameful reality that the French cannot face, it was finally publicly acknowledged by a leading official, President Franà §ois Hollande, in 2014, for the 70th D-Day landing anniversary, right here in little Arromanches les Bains (HERE). That year, Russian President Vladimir Putin was allowed to come participate. Knowing the true facts about World War II and who really won the war, maybe Hollande made it official out of a guilty conscious.
The West developed its bloodlust for massacring millions from the air during World War II. Germany killed 20,000 Brits by aerial bombing. Allies bombed more than 1,000 German cities, just like they did all across France and Japan, targeting above all else many millions of innocent civilian women, children and elderly. (HERE). It was even official policy, as told to the bomber pilots,
It has been decided that the primary objective of your operations should now be focused on the morale of the enemy civil population and in particular, of industrial workers. The aim is the destruction of German cities, the killing of German workers and the disruption of civilised community life through-out Germany. It should be emphasised that the destruction of houses, public utilities, transport and lives; the creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale; and the breakdown of morale both at home and at the battle fronts by fear of extended and intensified bombing are accepted and intended aims of our bombing policy, they are not by-products of attempts to hit factories. U.K. Bomber Commander Arthur Harris, 1942, showing pilots a list of 60 German cities to be wiped off the map.
Having whet their appetite for aerial genocide in World War II, the West went on to even greater crimes against humanity, obliterating millions more in Korea, Vietnam and now Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere.
Western total war (burn all, steal all, kill all and we can add rape all) has been perfected since biblical times, where it is sanctioned and glorified in the Old Testament/Torah, and with advances in technology over the ages, is blood splattered across our history books and daily headlines. Nobody does it better.
