Hey history side of Tumblr, I came across this really interesting post a while back where someone detailed and sourced the writings of U.S. military officials from the World War II era. Essentially they revealed that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't actually necessary to win the war, but were more so done as testing opportunities for the atomic bomb.
I've been trying to find it again, but I've had no luck. If anyone knows which post I'm talking about, I'd really appreciate it if you could reblog or comment with info to help me find it again! Please and thank you!
