Thick clouds over the first target, the city of Kokura, drove Sweeney to a secondary target, Nagasaki, where the next bomb “Fat Man” was dropped at 11:02 that morning. This bomb was even more powerful than "Little Boy".]]> 2018-06-07 15:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ronne_lopez02/7u2tnvawndwi/wish/266142964 ronne_lopez02 https://padlet.com/ronne_lopez02/7u2tnvawndwi/wish/266143357 2018-06-07 15:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ronne_lopez02/7u2tnvawndwi/wish/266143357 ronne_lopez02 https://padlet.com/ronne_lopez02/7u2tnvawndwi/wish/266145542 President Truman and his military advisers feared a "very costly invasion" of Japan.
The recent experience in the battles in Iwo Jima and Okinawa was very costly in terms of U.S. and Japanese casualties, despite the destruction of the Japanese air force and navy. There was a widespread belief among American military planners that the Japanese would fight to the last man. After some good thought, on August 6, 1945 Hiroshima was bombed.
