The final point said the alternative to surrender was "prompt and utter destruction." [Whatever someone would consider that to mean.] Standard psyops in every war. Yeah...we'll promptly and utterly destroy you first. At dawn next day Lieutenant General T. Kawabe, deputy chief of the Army general staff, received a single-sentence report that made no sense to him: 'The whole city of Hiroshima was destroyed instantly by a single bomb.'" ...Apparently, Mr. Nishina told the Japanese military that it was nuclear. However, only he knew what that meant. And by today's standards that's just a little tactical weapon. Thanks for looking that up. jttmab
