Eighty years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the debate over the atomic bombings is still alive—and often shaped more by myth than evidence. Were the Japanese already ready to surrender? Was the bomb uniquely evil compared to other destruction in the war? Could a simple “demonstration” have ended the conflict without killing civilians?
In this episode of the Trackpads Military Podcast, we examine these questions head-on, separating fact from fiction. Drawing on historical records, military strategy, and the context of 1945, he explores why the bomb was used, why surrender did not come sooner, and what lessons remain today.
The bombings were horrific and remain controversial, but understanding them requires seeing the world as it was in 1945—not as we imagine it today.
