My Great Grandpa was a B-29 tail gunner, he bombed Tokyo a few times and a lot of other firebomb missions. He saw a tree trunks fly up past the tail of the plain from the thermal updrafts and the wings of the plain where bent upward from those drafts and the heat when they landed. He also talked about smelling the people on runs. (edit with details from my dad) So he was involved in the raid it was on this raid that the pilot lost control of the plain, they where flying at 5000 feet when they got picked by a updraft and dropped back down to 3000 feet they stayed in the air but the plain was flying a little weird. They had to land on Iwo Jima and it was there they found the plains wings where bent up and the tail was crooked. Part of why they did the firebombs is that as mentioned homes wake stuff like ammo or smaller supply's in them so to disrupt that manufacturing capacity they had to destroy whole cities. One of the things they did to minimize civilian casualty was to drop leaflets with a picture of a B-29 on them and a list of 12 cities. That night three of those cities would be destroyed. The idea was if your city was on that list get out of town.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the Western practice of concentrating all of your industry into one area of town, never completely took hold in Japan. Over 50 percent of war industry, especially light industry was spread out across the city in small machine shops and factories. So targeted bombing of "industrial areas" of town was never going to be effective.

Interestingly, Tokyo itself could have mitigated much of this tragedy. Reason: the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake, where over 90,000 of the 120,000 dead from that earthquake died because of the massive firestorm started by cooking stoves that had fallen over during the earthquake (the earthquake happened at the worst time possible, right before lunch when many people were cooking their mid day meals). Tokyo authorities should have learned from that experience and essentially banned wooden structures in most of the city; had that advice been heeded, the effect of the 9-10 March 1945 firebombing would have been vastly lower, possibly with a much lower death toll.

They followed a model - the firebombings of german cities, initially done by british bomber raids. Everyone knows of the fire storms of Hamburg and Dresden. But there were more. Near the place where I live is Heilbronn. It became a target because it had a large cargo railway hub, adjacent to the river Neckar, the largest eastern tributary to the Rhine, which connects it and the Black Forest. Before the raid, only a few of the town buildings were made of stone, the town hall, the convent of the Teutonic Order, a few churches. The rest was half-timbered houses. After the raid on December 4th 1944 - which lasted maybe 45 minutes, and made the town burn for three days - what was left was ash and a few sandstone walls. Whoever planned the raid on Tokyo, must have known what this means. The aerial photographs of this town were already there.

Actually, reports from American embassy and consulate personnel who traveled around the parts of Japan allowed by Japanese authorities noted most Japanese cities around 1937-1939 had buildings mostly made of wood. That made them extremely vulnerable to fires, a fact that was noted by the USAAF when they did their bombing tests in Utah in 1943 when an incendiary attack pretty much destroyed the simulated Japanese city.

Those objecting to this attack and the atomic attacks fail to understand the circumstances. Japan, both the citizenry and the government, NEEDED to be broken in order for the war to end. The US had to break their will, and it was a tough will to break, to get them to back off the empire building. Japan's military and government, without the knowledge of the people, had committed great crimes, and the people were ramped up by the government to support the was even though they didn't know what was being done in their name. This pride in their conquering kept the people backing the war. The people had to be convinced the government was lying to them and their pride broken so they would no longer support the government's quest to conquer. If that was not done, it could have just come up again and again later on, making the resulting death toll much worse.

Most people also believed the government in their war hungryness, their claims of the emperor wanted it, after all he's basically a God living amongst the mortals, and when ever has god been wrong. You can see the same kind of thing happening in the middle east with islam where people outright ignore civil law or governments and just jump to using their holy book as the one truth, the one thing they must believe in and that must lead them.

People of the world don't know that the US military indiscriminately massacred approximately 500,000 Japanese civilians during World War II. The top three prefectures for the number of deaths of Japanese citizens due to indiscriminate air raids by the Allied Forces are as follows: ★ Tokyo 146,597 people ★ Due to incendiary bombs ★ Hiroshima Prefecture 142,572 people ★ Due to atomic bomb ★ Nagasaki Prefecture 75,520 people ★ Due to atomic bomb Incidentally, from February 13 to 15, 1945, at the end of World War II, Allied forces indiscriminately bombed the eastern German city of Dresden, but the death toll in Dresden was only about 25,000.

They don't know? I know about it. I'm a person of the world. It's not exactly a secret. I learned about it in high school. What gets me is that you wrote "BUT the death toll was only about 25,000". I mean, really, you wanna get into the atrocity ranking game? It's pointless and counterproductive IMHO, but fine. "The International Military Tribunal for the Far East estimated that in the first month of the occupation, Japanese soldiers committed approximately 20,000 cases of rape in the city.[49] Some estimates claim 80,000 cases of rape.[4] According to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, rapes of all ages, including children and elderly women, were commonplace, and there were several instances of sadistic and violent behavior related to these rapes. Following the rapes, many women were killed and their bodies were mutilated.[50] A large number of rapes were done systematically by the Japanese soldiers as they went from door to door, searching for girls, with many women being captured and gang-raped.[51]" (Wikipedia) Read the article. Do it.

The rape of Nanking is ONE event. You can find pictures on Wikipedia and elsewhere. Look it up. These were not isolated incidents. It was systematic. Women and children, raped with broken bottles, whatever. I'm not exaggerating. I suspect some people don't know about that, too. What I'm kinda wondering here is this: what would your plan have been to stop the Japanese? That's not a rhetorical question. People have different views on that. What's yours? Just pasting numbers doesn't deal with this. And there's an important distinction here: they weren't stopping. What gets me, really, is the need to post that here, as if there is some need for balance. Atrocities ultimately don't balance. It becomes absurd to talk about the deaths of thousands and thousands of people like that.

Those who wring their hands over the loss of civilian life because of the bombings conveniently overlook the treatment of civilians by the Japanese in the areas they occupied. The suicides of Japanese civilians on Saipan and Okinawa also show how deep the fanaticism ran and what lengths the entire Japanese population would go to avoid surrender. It took the Emperor two days after Nagasaki to agree to surrender. And, lest we forget, the overwhelming majority of American soldiers, sailors and Marines were civilians who were drafted into service because of the aggression of the Axis powers.

To play devils advocate, I have a hard time being super sympathetic, considering what Japan did to the Chinese at the time, both sides committed war crimes. Thats the problem with war everbodys hands get dirty.

@gregoriancatmonk6904 How many of those women and kids had committed war crimes or even knew war crimes were going on? Don't try to make a moral equivalence to this shit.

@@tristanhallmark2724 Moral equivalency? Are you saying Japan was innocent of war crimes? Are you saying that the Japanese military regime who murdered near 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indo-chinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war are saints in all of this? How is saying both sides committed atrocities a moral equivalency? I wonder if it was your grandmother or grandfather that was butchered by them if you would be so self righteous....

@gregoriancatmonk6904 are you an idiot or do you just lack the ability to comprehend what you read? How many of the women and children that were fire bombed in Tokyo guily of committing war crimes? I never said the Japanese government/military didn't commit war crimes, but to hold the civilians who had no control or knowledge of those crimes accountable is absolutely insane.

@@gregoriancatmonk6904 Who is Japan? Is it a person? No, There's the civilians, the military, the government etc. We're talking about civilian deaths here and yes, the civilians are innocent of war crimes committed by the military and are deserving of sympathy. I guess lumping the innocent civilians together with the parts of the military that committed war crimes into a single package known as 'Japan' makes history easier to swallow huh?

My grandparnets were alive during the war and said we did what we had to do to win. They would remind anyone that Japan started it and that they had plenty of time to surrender. War sucks and people die. Thats why you dont start them.

Yes, the Japanese war crimes were horrific. I’m glad he brought them up. The Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) and the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) were responsible for a multitude of war crimes leading to millions of deaths. These crimes ranged from sexual slavery and massacres to human experimentation, starvation, and forced labor, all either directly committed or condoned by the Japanese military and government. Massacres Alexandra Hospital massacre Bangka Island massacre[88] Changjiao massacre Gando massacre Homfreyganj massacre Kalagon massacre Laha massacre[87] Manila massacre Nanjing Massacre Palawan massacre Panjiayu massacre Pantingan River massacre Parit Sulong massacre Pig-basket atrocity Pontianak Massacre Sook Ching massacre St. Stephen's College massacre Tol Plantation massacre Wake Island massacre

Has the channel ever covered the Marshall Islands people and what they went through at the hands of America. I seriously almost vomited when one of their elders described a common place birth. Jellyfish babies she called them. You know when you tip up with Army chaplains and convince a simple people that god approves of them leaving so American can nuke the hell out of Paradise....Then some years later you say it's okay to return. John Pilger the Australian journalist got hold of the memos wrote in Washington that said. Letting then go home and saying it's safe will be a great opportunity to study what the radiation does to them..
