Japan ? Thanks to the early work of German refugee scientists Otto Hahn and Otto Frisch the US was capable of dropping 'Little Boy' on August 6th and 66,000 people were killed and 69,000 injured by the 10 kiloton explosion. Followed by the attack on Nagasaki, 'Fat Man' was dropped on August 9th - Nagasaki's population vanished from 422,000 to 383,000 and over 25,000 people were injured there.
Highly impressive warfare. :rolleyes:
The downfall of Hitler was not only thanks to our allies from overseas, but also due to the strong forces from the former Sovjet Union, that drove Hitler back from the East. Not to forget the British and the French Resistance.
