‘Thus, 80 years ago, the Hirohito-Hitler record of brutalities, disrespect for human rights and attempts to craft Wunderwaffe turned the Global Anti-Fascist War into a nuclear war.’
HIROHITO cannot evade culpability for what happened to his nuked cities because his fanatical troopers, his war Shintoists, his loyal subjects (grassroots fascism) and his profiteers implemented his declaration of his “sacred” war in Asia-Pacific.
Like it or not, Hiroshima was payback for the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Hong Kong Black Christmas, Banka Island massacre, Operation Sankō (Three Alls Policy) and Wake Island Massacre. Fair or not, Nagasaki was retribution for Japanese cannibalism: “desperate Japanese soldiers consumed the flesh of their own comrades killed in fighting, as well as that of Australians, Pakistanis, and Indians.”

Hiroshima was reprisal for the Sook Ching massacre, Sandakan Death Marches, Palawan massacre, Bataan Death March, Kaimingye germ weapon attack, and Parit Sulong massacre. Nagasaki was retaliation for the Rape of Manila, Mindanao Death March, Rape of Mapanique, and Lipa Massacre.
Burma-Thai Death Railway —> Nagasaki. Lieutenant Colonel Nagatomo: “Your lives are preserved by the military and you must reward them with your labour. By the hands of the Nippon army, railway work to connect Siam and Burma has started to the great interest of the world…You are the remnants of a rabble army and this line will be built over the bones of the white man.” [Jim Brigginshaw. Survival on the Death Railway andNagasaki. Yorkshire: Pen & Sword Military, 2018, p. 69]
On the scales, Hirohito’s Kwangtung Army, Unit 731, and Shinpū Tokubetsu Kōgekitai Divine Wind Special Attack Unit) were countervailed by the United States Army Air Force 509th Composite Group. On the ledger, Hirohito’s Kempeitai and Tokkeitai Tokubetsu Keisatsutai Naval Secret Police) and the Boeing B-29 Superfortresses Enola Gay and Bockscar. The Imperial Japanese Army’s martial law (gunritsu) and Unit 731’s Operation PX (aka Operation Cherry Blossoms At Night) were answered by America’s “Little Boy” (gun-type air burst atomic bomb).[https://web.stanford.edu/class/e297c/war_peace/atomic/hfatman.html] The Project Ni-Go of Army Lieutenant General Takeo Yasuda and Yoshio Nishina (“father of Japanese nuclear physics”) was neutralized by Los Alamos Laboratory’s “Fat Man” (nuclear fission gravity bomb).
The fascist imperialist Japanese (the very same war-freaks who committed Crimes against Peace and Humanity, according to the International Military Tribunal for the Far East) were making their own nuclear weapons: the Navy’s project F-Go under the direction of Bunsaku Arakatsu, a physics professor at Kyoto Imperial University.

In addition, Hiroshima was the byproduct of Auschwitz and the German uranium project: “Controversial new historical evidence suggests that German physicists built and tested a nuclear bomb during the Second World War. Rainer Karlsch and Mark Walker outline the findings and present a previously unpublished diagram of a German nuclear weapon.” [https://physicsworld.com/a/new-light-on-hitlers-bomb/] Yikes! Hitler tested small atom bomb. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4348497.stm]
“During World War II German scientists attempted to harness nuclear fission chain reactions in order to create powerful new energy sources and weapons. This is one of the most important developments in recent history, not because of what the scientists did, rather because of how their efforts were perceived. Without the German uranium project and credible reports about its existence, it is difficult to imagine the United States government investing such great amounts of manpower, resources, and money into making such a futuristic weapon as the atomic bomb. If the American Manhattan Project and the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki had not happened, it is equally difficult to imagine the Soviet Union making a comparable effort. Thus, without the threat of ‘Hitler’s Bomb’ there is no atomic bomb in the summer of 1945, or nuclear arms race immediately thereafter.” [Mark Walker. Hitler’s Atomic Bomb—History, Legend, and the Twin Legacies of Auschwitz and Hiroshima. NY: Cambridge University Press, 2024, p. 1]
In fact, one month before the outbreak of WW2, scientists were already warning U.S. officials: “Einstein drafted his famous letter with the help of the Hungarian émigré physicist Leo Szilard, one of a number of European scientists who had fled to the United States in the 1930s to escape Nazi and Fascist repression. Szilard was among the most vocal of those advocating a program to develop bombs based on recent findings in nuclear physics and chemistry. Those like Szilard and fellow Hungarian refugee physicists Edward Teller and Eugene Wigner regarded it as their responsibility to alert Americans to the possibility that German scientists might win the race to build an atomic bomb and to warn that Hitler would be more than willing to resort to such a weapon.” [https://www.osti.gov/opennet/manhattan-project-history/Events/1939-1942/einstein_letter.htm]
Even the Mahatma could not deter Hitler, going by his letter sent just two months before the start of WW2: “It is quite clear that you are today the one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to a savage state. Must you pay that price for an object however worthy it may appear to you to be? Will you listen to the appeal of one who has deliberately shunned the method of war not without considerable success.” [M.K. Gandhi in Wardha, C.P., India to Herr Hitler in Berlin, 23 July 1939; https://www.mkgandhi.org/letters/hitler_ltr.php]
Thus, 80 years ago, the Hirohito-Hitler record of brutalities, disrespect for human rights and attempts to craft Wunderwaffe turned the Global Anti-Fascist War into a nuclear war.
