This story has always intrigued me, because the japanese were ready to fight until there were no more male japanese to fight. Horrible as it was- the war was ended by the event.

[@billotto602]

Not just males...

[@shimoarikiku7791]

Man I love the B29 it’s such a beautiful plane. Wish I could fly on one. Flying the B29 in WarThunder is probably the closest I’ll ever get lol.

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

The Japanese soldiers were callous, ruthless and cruel. Thank goodness they were humbled. God only knows what we were all in for… no mercy. I’m so proud of the brave men and boys!

[@mariarobles6426]

They should be punished for such horrors

[@billotto602]

Far too many escaped justice after the war.

The bomb shown is the Nagasaki bomb. It always is shown exploding. But the Hiroshima bomb has a akward cloud formation going upward. I wonder if the wind at thst altitude made it bend awkward instead of straight up like the Nagasaki bomb. Never has it been reported.

[@edwardpike3386]

I think that you could have shown both episodes back to back.

[@billotto602]

I think they've got to show them as they were aired. Just a guess.

[@tiggersmith7393]

Isnt there a documentary where some of the pilot crew who dropped the bomb went back to meet the Japanese, only at the end were the Japanese told who the pilots actually were, very moving.

[@billotto602]

Tibbets said he had no desire to ever go back.

[@richardwhiting1480]

As horrible as the 2 atomic bombs were, they saved hundreds of thousands of American servicemen AND Japanese civilians IF we were forced to invade Japan. Perhaps saved a million !

[@alanstevens1296]

Where are the other two B-29s that were with them?

[@temistoclesmarquesdeoliveirane]

Excelente filme, o patriotismo deste canal de filmes é para mostrar a todos que a liberdade e a paz é uma conquista diária

[@davidhouser5759]

I am alive today because of the 509th compsite group because my late father was in the AAF during ww2

[@Jarhead1086]

Enola Gay didn't end the war. Bocks Car did

[@alanstevens1296]

They knew it was all but over after seeing that blast!
