"I thought Germany was okay." Schindler's List was Vietnam. "Is Peter Wolf here?"

"Mr. Wolf, this one's for you -- One, two, three, four - 'Well, we were just another Band outta Boston...'"

Corrections: Not Krakow, but Potsdam. I'm not sure if the "final warning" was issued on July 17th. 150,000 dead from nukes in two cities; 100,000 from firebombing in Tokyo. Hirohito takes 6 days after Nagasaki to surrender. Looks like we might have rushed to use the bomb again to demonstrate to the U.S.S.R. who was the top dog.
July 17 - Potsdam conference July 26 - Groves issues directive to 509 group - bg Aug. 6 - Hiroshima - 20 kiloton Little Boy killed 80,000 Aug. 8 - Russia declared war on Japan - map Aug. 9 - Nagasaki - 22 kiloton Fat Man kills 70,000 Aug. 15 - Emperor surrender broadcast - VJ Day source
