In August the world remembers with much regret the 61 years of the greatest war crime against humanity has already struck. The nuclear holocaust on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Crime of which its perpetrators were never even indicted, quite the contrary, were hailed as heroes throughout the world simply because they won the war and moved an advertisement can make the whole world forget the nuclear horror.

But many still have not forgotten the true culprit of this true horror story, the greatest terrorist nation on the planet, the United States of America, and causes the reader to know more about what the mainstream media insists on making world- forget. The crimes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Here you’ll see a little of what actually occurred and that can be easily proven by U.S. public documents considered top secret and that were recently opened to the public.

150 000 innocent civilians were sentenced to death by Harry Truman. First and only nation in the world to throw atomic bombs on civilians

In August 1945 the United States entered the world history by being the first and only nation to dump the huge atomic terror on civilian populations. With World War II almost finished and without being able to justify spending 2.6 billion dollars in the Manhattan Project (the project of building the atomic bomb), Harry Truman seeks opportunities to play one, or perhaps even most, of their bombs on poisoned enemy cities and show the world the size of the power that the United States had on hand.

The American people already were being “poisoned” by his long-biased media that made them believe that the atomic bomb would end the war and save lives, as their children return from the war. According to Peter Scowen, author of The Black Book of the United States, “to the Americans, the detonation of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were military actions carried out against a despotic nation that could only himself to blame for the suffering of his people. (…) There was even a religious fervor in the U.S. performance, at least in the minds of Truman: “… We thank God for [the bomb] have come to us instead of our enemies, and pray that He guides us to use it in His way and His purposes … “. Worse, even if only a revealing research that shows the desire of Americans to replace one by another genocide. Also according to Scowen, “… A Gallup poll made in December 1944 revealed that 13% of Americans favored the elimination of the Japanese people through genocide …”

Unfortunately plans for Truman, Germany had signed unconditional surrender in May 1945 shortly after the suicide of Hitler. Italy had already surrendered before the time of arrest and assassination of Mussolini. At that time Japan was left only to find himself without many alternatives for achieving their plans, Truman clings to the last opportunity that appeared to claim the unconditional surrender of Japan, which insisted on maintaining their revered emperor. Great war strategists advised against the president to use nuclear weapons, proposing instead a large sea blockade, coupled with the entry of Russia into the front of the Pacific and more focused on the bombing military targets.

According to these experts, these maneuvers would be enough to end the war by July 1945. Even so, Truman simply ignored them and, using the motto of unconditional surrender, decided the fate of two cities and hundreds of thousands of lives.

Chosen targets: Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The original plan attacks with bombs and four Japanese cities. The committee decided to target the Manhattan Project Hiroshima attack, because according to the minutes of meetings of this committee, because of its size and plan, “… much of the city was extensively damaged …”, Nagasaki and Kyoto, because, even according to those minutes, Kyoto “… it was an intellectual center of Japan and its people are better able to assess the significance of a gun so … ”

So on the fateful day August 6, 1945, moved beyond all indissimulável by a feeling of revenge for the Japanese attack on the military base at Pearl Harbor, U.S. airplanes approached the first target to suffer the horrors of nuclear weapons. Hiroshima, then the seventh largest city in Japan, with 350 000 inhabitants, was attacked by Little Boy, that by the end of 1945, decreed the death of about 150,000 Japanese, of whom only 20 000 were military.

Not satisfied with such atrocity and only three days after the first attack, as if it were possible to prepare a full declaration of unconditional surrender in three days, the Americans attacked the second target city on August 9. Nagasaki and its 175,000 inhabitants have been the victim of Fat Man, second and more powerful bomb, which killed nearly 70,000 human beings in the macabre accounting made in December 1945.

The adverse effects of Little Boy and Fat Man

If we look briefly casualties of little boy and fat man, 40% of the original population of the cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki died in the tally in December 1945. These numbers do not yet reflect the reality of the true amount of bomb victims, as thousands of others died later due to the harmful effects of radiation.

In a comparison merely illustrative, it is as if the attacks of September 11, instead of three thousand people died, about four million New Yorkers had lost their lives at the World Trade Center. And that’s not everything, since the effects of the pump are not only the immediate death and destruction. Even today people are still dying cancer victims genetically inherited from your parents and grandparents, and is possible to find even today, thousands of people with physical deformities, cancer, congenital infertility problems and other diseases caused by radioactive releases on these cities in 1945.

According to studies conducted in the rubble of the cities, virtually all people who were up to 1 km from the center of the blast were killed instantly (86%). The bombs exploded in the city centers and sprayed schools, offices, prisons, nursing homes, churches and hospitals. In the center of the attack, everything turned to dust, there were corpses. Beyond Ground Zero were corpses everywhere, including babies and children. According to Peter Scowen, “Yosuke Yamahata was sent by the Japanese army to shoot the day after the Nagasaki bombing. Your photos show a city leveled, evenly smoothed. (…) He took pictures of a mother dying from radiation poisoning and breastfeeding her baby, also to death; pictures of rows of bodies, parents trying, unsuccessfully, to take care of burns in small body of their children. Yamahata died of cancer in 1966, with 48 years. ” The victims of radiation have a fever and bleeding purple skin, then emerges to gangrene and the hair falls. This painful death, so similar to poisoning by mustard gas that causes the slow torture was not something in which Americans would like the public to focus after the release of the bombs, after all, the United States had signed treaties in 1889 and 1907 which banned the use of “poisoned weapons” in warfare. Worse, the United States had agreed to a resolution of the League of Nations in 1938 for making illegal the intentional bombing of civilians. In other words, the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States simply ignored all treaties they had signed so far.

The real motives behind the bombing

The true objectives behind the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were obscured for a long time. At the time it was alleged resistance from the Japanese to accept unconditional surrender, as the United States demanded the deposition of the Japanese emperor and they did not accept this condition. Dwight Eisenhower, U.S. general who later became president, said that “Japan was seeking some way to surrender with minimal loss of (…) appearance was not necessary to beat him with that thing” 2. With the recent release of documents and diaries once considered top secret, today it can be concluded that the main objective documentary behind the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the need to send a clear message to the Soviet Union, which had been expanding from the east Europe (Poland, Romania, Hungary), that the U.S. had in hand a powerful weapon that would not hesitate to use it if necessary. Yet according to Peter Scowen, “… by 1944 the Americans had found the gun an asset in its relations with Stalin and Truman thought that a public display of pump capacity would make the Soviet Union more manageable in Europe …”. As the motivation of the attack, the U.S. government itself turns out to contradict the hypothesis that would have been the unconditional surrender of Japan on the 10th of August, just one day after the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan signed its surrender and deliver the United States abandon the idea of unconditional surrender on the grounds that if the Emperor remained in power would allow a more orderly occupation by U.S. troops.

Ironically, unlike the Americans who wanted to lead by Harry Truman, a public demonstration of the power of the atomic bomb made the leaders of all nations tremble, but instead of sitting waiting for the U.S. to leave its nuclear power in the hands of UN, everyone wanted to have such power in the hands, especially the Soviet Union led by Josef Stalin began the Cold War and nuclear arms race that would only cool down almost 45 years after the bombing, with the end of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Soviet leadership under Mikhail Gorbachev.

U.S. attend ceremony for victims of Hiroshima

Posted by admin | Posted in News | Posted on 06-08-2010

A representative of the United States participated for the first time today the annual ceremony marking the explosion of the atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The U.S. ambassador to Japan, John Roos, attended the event which marked the 65th anniversary of the bomb and that the organizers hope to help stimulate the global efforts towards nuclear disarmament.

At the site where the first atomic bomb attack was carried heard choirs of students and the solemn tolling of bells in the largest ceremony ever held. At 8:15 – the time the bomb was dropped, incinerating most of the city – was made a moment of silence. The mayor of Hiroshima, Tadatoshi Akiba, welcomed the U.S. decision to send a representative to the celebration, which began with a supply of water to 140 000 deaths in the two nuclear attacks suffered by Japan which led the country to surrender in World War II .

Akiba hopes that Barack Obama visit Hiroshima, a hypothesis that the U.S. president said he would consider, but it would be very controversial and unprecedented in the case of a sitting president. “We need to communicate to every corner of the world the intense desire of the survivors by the abolition of nuclear weapons,” said Akiba to 55 000 people present at the ceremony.

The mayor urged the Japanese government has a leadership role in nuclear disarmament to a “page turn in the history of mankind.” “I offer my prayers to those who died. We will not comply with it much longer.

Representatives

Besides the U.S., nuclear powers like Britain and France also sent representatives to the ceremony for the first time, as the secretary general of the United Nations (UN), Ban Ki-moon. In total, 74 countries were represented. China, which sent an official to step down in 2008, was not present.

Care was taken to ensure that the ceremony emphasized an approach toward the future, leaving aside the discussion about whether the bombing was justified – an issue which many Japanese argue – and emphasizing the prevention of further attacks.

The U.S. ambassador said the ceremony was a chance to show readiness for nuclear disarmament, Obama declared it a major goal of his government. “For the sake of future generations, we must continue to work together to conquer a world without nuclear weapons,” Ross said in a statement.

In March 1983 all Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the U.S. Air Force were centralized under a single command, then the 1st Special Operations Wing (1st SOW) and the Office of Recovery and Rescue Aerospace (ARRS) remained under the control of newly created 23 th Air Force, headquartered at Scott Base in Illinois. The 1st SOW consists of five squadrons equipped with modified versions of helicopter and aircraft C-130 Hercules.

The composition and organization of this unit are highly confidential, but some of their equipment are known: AC-130H aircraft (Hercules fighting or “Gunboat Flying”) developed for use in Vietnam armed with six-barreled Gatling guns and howitzers up to 105 mm ; aircraft MC-130H (Combat Talon) with advanced avionics and improved performance to make low-flying, rescue operations and covert infiltration; Helicopters MH-53J “Pave Low” with armor protection, tanks and autoselantes probe for refueling, helicopter MH-60G “Pave Hawk” equipped with radar, FLIR, rescue winch, armor protection and machine guns.

Combat team of the 1st SOW in amphibious training. Created in 1946, the ARRS also makes use of helicopters and C-130, a combination that proved effective. Consisting of about 3,500 men and about two hundred aircraft, their missions ranging from combat-SAR until recognition of climatic conditions. Thanks to its efficient 966 lives were saved in the Korean War and Vietnam War in 2759. It also provides support for NASA missions to recover manned spacecraft or rockets. The team responsible for the weather, locates and enters hurricanes and typhoons with their WC-130H aircraft that requires great courage and skill. The ARRS provides escorts in shifts of Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) from its underground silos scattered throughout the U.S..

Its specialized versions of Hercules are: HC-130H with greater reach and folding device in the nose for the recovery of men and material in the soil, using the technique skyhook, and JHC-130H with extra equipment for the recovery of space capsules in the air. Both components of the 1st SOW as the ARRS use uniform standards of the USAF, distinguishable only by special badges on the shoulder pads. Some members are thoroughly trained paratroopers. Units of the 1st SOW participated in Operation Eagle Claw and the intervention in Grenada in 1983.

WWII
Division: Normandy, France – 1944


The 12th SS Panzer Division or Hitlerjugend Division (Hitler Youth) was a mechanized division of the Waffen SS unit known as “breaking” the enemy lines. Its main feature was to be formed primarily by soldiers born in 1926, former members of Hitler Youth, while the officers were generally veterans of the Eastern Front. Aware that the Division should be ready for combat as quickly as possible, their commander Gen. Fritz Witt ignored some orders and regulations, focusing on training in realistic combat scenarios and live fire exercises. The result is that the morale of the men of the Hitler was exceptionally high and their relationship with the officers and sergeants was quite informal, but based on mutual respect and loyalty.

In March 1944, with about 20,500 men, Hitlerjugend was deemed ready for active service and was ordered to move to the region of Caen in Normandy, where he would be part of the 1st SS Panzer Corps. The Division was equipped with 81 Panther tanks, 104 tanks Panzer IV, Jagdpanzer IV fighter tanks, armored anti-aircraft Wirbelwind, Wespe and Hummel self-propelled guns and several smaller vehicles for troop transport, reconnaissance and command.

On June 6, when the Allies launched Operation Overlord (D Day), landing on the beaches of Normandy, the 12th German SS unit was the closest to the enemy. In moving toward the beach called “Sword” and “Juno” was severely attacked by Allied bombers that caused delays in the movement of armored enough to take them the element of surprise. With three mechanized infantry battalions and two companies of tanks, General Kurt Meyer had orders to stop the advancement of Canadian troops in that sector, preparing them to an ambush south of Franqueville. With his men maintaining excellent tactical discipline and showing great courage to attack the 12th SS took Canadians disorganized, forcing them to retreat with the battalion Authie Meyer in pursuit. The Hitlerjugend took the towns of Authie and Franqueville, and captured about 150 soldiers of the regiment of Highlanders in Nova Scotia and the crews of the 27th Tank Regiment. Despite the ferocity of the counter-attacks of the 12th SS in the whole battle front on his own responsibility, the Division failed to fail to push the Allies back to the beach.

Fighting in a narrow defensive perimeter on the outskirts of Caen, the remains of the 12th SS was suffering like the rest of the German Army, with a shortage of ammunition, supplies and fuel. Even with all the difficulties the members of this valiant unit would continue fighting in the Normandy region in September 1944 until losing in the period between about 12,000 men killed, wounded or missing. After a brief rest and replenishment, the Division Hitlerjugend still would fight the U.S. Army at the Battle of the Bulge and the Army would face Reds near Budapest, Hungary. In 1944 the camouflage uniforms were already widely used by German Army units, though most with the status of elite troops. This Division of the Hitler soldier is wearing a jacket and pants with Italian camouflage pattern, with the helmet also covered with fabric in the same pattern. In the final period of the war was common to see German units using uniforms supplied by the Italians, since its crippled industrial capacity could no longer meet the demand of its military. He carries a machine gun MG 42, 7.92 mm, which was famous for its reliability, robustness, ease of handling, but mainly for their ability to produce and maintain an impressive volume of fire.

Since its inception in the 60s, a Heckler & Koch MP-5 has been considered a weapon sophisticated enough to meet the most stringent requirements of best elite military units such as the British SAS for example. Using the same principle of operation of the G41 and G3 rifles, characterized by good quality of handling and for having parts that are interchangeable with those of a large number of assault weapons heavier. The MP-5 has three ways of shooting: semi-automatic and automatic bursts of three shots, all controlled by the engine near the trigger, which also acts as a safety lock. These weapons are a major attraction in developing countries, not only for its reliability and maintainability, but also for its ease of manufacture. The breech box, built from sheet metal stamping, is fixed to the splined polygonal pipe with a bolt welded to it and swivel attached to the barrel. The trigger guard, the butt and the front are made of high impact plastic. H&K uses of metal stampings and sub-welded parts. The MP-5 has an impressive list of accessories, including device to fill the boot, a conversion kit for .22 caliber, a device to practice target shooting, a grenade launcher and several optical devices. Can be configured as MP-5 A2 with fixed butt or MP-5 A3 featuring retractable butt.

The MP-5K was introduced in 1976 and designed for special operations: the barrel is shorter, a vertical grip is added in front and no grip, just slide the lid of the box. The MP-5SD is a weapon with a silencer and identical to the MP-5 A2/A3, with respect to the operation principle and system of breech. The MP-5SD1 version comes with the box cover slide, the SD2 and SD3 has butt sets have a retractable butt. Ideal for special forces, the MP-5SD used in close combat produces low noise level, which added to the flame decreased in the mouth make it difficult locating the perpetrators of the shooting, may still be attached a laser sight, which greatly increases the their effectiveness. It is used by several police officers and elite troops around the world and manufactured under license in Greece, Pakistan and Mexico.
