Thanks for that information. I will go to a screening on Wed. A few things
1. They took Hiroshima and Nagasaki off the list of cities being firebombed so they could investigate the pure effects of the atomic bombing in their sick science experiment.
2. Enola Gay is the name of the pilot, Paul Tibbits, Jr's mother
3. Truman said, "Having found the atomic bomb, we have used it. We shall continue to use it. . . . It is an awful responsibility which has come to us. We thank God that the atomic bomb has come to us instead of to our enemies, and we pray that God may guide us to use it in his ways and for his purposes.”
The suggestion that we might have demonstrated the bomb on a remote atoll, and ended the war, never occurred to me until I read about it recently. I wonder if Truman considered that?
