The topic of inhumane Japanese torture methods during WWII casts a long, dark shadow over the history of war and conflict.

I am one of those that hold the view dropping the atomic bombs was a flex against other nations to show our might. Particularly the second bomb.
 
The Japanese army was fighting for every inch in the island campaign. There was no reason to believe they would fight with less ferocity in an invasion of Japan. I’m sure Truman believed it would save a lot of lives and it definitely did. Unfortunately at the expense of many Japanese civilians.

The second bomb is all on Japanese leadership. They didn’t believe the US could do it again.

Imagine the shiver down Hitler’s spine.

Or the second thought through every Soviet’s mind, “well, they’ve done it before” at any point of escalation during the Cold War.

Adolf Hitler

Adolph Hitler (1889-1945) was leader of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party and Chancellor of Germany from 1933-1945; he led that country into World War II in 1939. The documents in this file range from 1933 to 1947, but primarily fall either in 1933 or between 1945 and 1947. In 1933, the FBI...

Could have, I still have no clue why the nazis went to south America. It just doesn't make any sense at all to me.

My cursory Google confirms that, but I guess there were already a lot of Germans floating around down there and they had strong ties as the contributing factor.

Who were these many speculators?

The Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa were the bloodiest battles in the Pacific theatre so these speculations seem dubious to me.
