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

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. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/mhv » paypal donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TFHEY4P4YU3NY » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view »» MERCHANDISE - SPOILS OF WAR «« » shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/mhvis/shop »» SOCIAL MEDIA «« » twitter - https://twitter.com/MilHiVisualized » facebook - https://www.facebook.com/milhistoryvisualized/ » twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/militaryhistoryvisualized » tumblr - http://militaryhistoryvisualized.tumblr.com/ » minds.com - https://www.minds.com/militaryhistoryvisualized Military History Visualized provides a series of short narrative and visual presentations like documentaries based on academic literature or sometimes primary sources.
