some more useful clues....
For this reason, the second time around, the allies were not going to make any deals with the Germans or with their allies, the Japanese. This time, no more Mr. Nice Guy. This time, the allies were going to accept nothing less than a total surrender and an occupation of both Germany and Japan. The purpose was to make sure that they could never start a war again.
One issue which has often been raised is racism. It was said that the reason the US dropped the A-Bomb on the Japanese and not the Germans was that the Germans were white but the Japanese were yellow. However, a recent interview of Col. Paul Tibbets, the Commander who actually dropped the A-Bomb on Japan and who is still alive, revealed that the original plan was to drop the A-Bomb on Germany. This plan was did not come to fruition only because the A-Bomb was not ready to be dropped yet. The Germans surrendered on May 7, 1945, which was before the A-Bomb was ready.
