[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3357812, member: 26737"] Years ago, a friend of mine told me about a book he'd read about Japanese efforts during WWII (I've long forgotten the name). Apparently, the book claimed that those firebombing balloons they sent were actually supposed to be biological/chemical warfare balloons, and the incendiary charges were just to destroy the evidence. It also claimed that the Jap high command went along with the surrender because they recognized what the Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts were, because they'd been trying to develop nukes themselves. Supposedly, they had a plan to set off nukes under American invasion fleets, if either their program or the war had gotten that far. [/QUOTE]
