Hiroshima....

One of the problems, is that many believe that the Japanese during WWII were similar to Germans, Russians, Americans and others at war. When there seemed no hope they would surrender, but it was not true of the Japanese. If they could blow up one of the enemy by blowing themselves up, they would. Japanese suicide attacks were a staple of the Japanese military. I for one, don't believe the smoke that they were beaten and wanted to surrender as would the Germans and so on.
Of course they wanted to surrender, but on their terms. If the Japanese believed they could not beat the US what was their goal?
