Re: Bombing Japan
"Probably USA commanders could not understand also why Japanese didn't surrender immediately after being demonstrated the destructive power of the bomb, while probably Japanese were so stunned they couldn't understand fully what they were hit by, and that even the most crazy hopes were lost."
It took 3 days for the Imperial government to notice that Hiroshima was destroyed by bombing. Nagasaki confirmed vague reports of utter devastation and was closer to be reached after the bombing, where the results would've become readily apparent.
Conventional bombing leaves distinctive signs, incendiary bombs also leave distinctive signs. A nuclear air burst also leaves distinctive signs, incineration and shattered masonry that no other bomb can cause.
