Survey says Japs would have surrendered without bombs
A U S strategic bombing survey told President Truman that Japan would have surrendered late in 1945 even without the atomic bomb or Russia's entry. The 12 member board said air power had already crushed Japan and that surrender steps began as early as June 1944 under Tojo. The report notes militarists quit first while most of the public did not yet demand peace.
