  • Anti-Tank 290 Message Center
    AT 290 MESSAGE CENTER FALL EDITION SEPTEMBER 20 04 Notes from the Editor: Ray Smith For many of the past months in 2004, Alfred Roxburgh (CN-289), Jay Puckett (the son of a now- deceased past member of L-290), and myself (M/C Editor Ray Smith) have been engaged in compiling a name and organization listing of 75 th post-WW2 deceased. Our objective for this seemingly morbid task has been to establish a database, which when coupled with a current Association Roster, might provide helpful responses to queries regarding whether and how a given family might track the war histories of its departed 75 th loved one. We began and have pursued this task mainly be scanning the "Taps" columns and other news items printed in past issues of the 75 th Association's " Bulgebusters " newsletter. But we also used any other sources that became available to us during the course of the search. However, archived copies of the BB available to us were limited to issues published from about 1965 or later. Thus, if any of you have earlier ones, we could sure use any information they might report about deceased comrades, their names, the organization to which they belonged, date of decease, and the source of the information (e.g., the date of the BB). You can send such information to AL or me or even directly to Jay Puckett at the addresses listed on page 7. Unfortunately, we have been unable to interest and thereby enlist the help of the 75th Association's present secretariat, a resident of Indianapolis.

  • Surrender of Japan 1 Surrender of Japan
    Surrender of Japan 1 Surrender of Japan The surrender of Japan brought hostilities in World War II to a close. By the end of July 1945, the Imperial Japanese Navy was incapable of conducting operations and an Allied invasion of Japan was imminent. While publicly stating their intent to fight on to the bitter end, Japan's leaders at the Supreme Council for the Direction of the War (the "Big Six") were privately making entreaties to the neutral Soviet Union, to mediate peace on terms favorable to the Japanese. The Soviets, meanwhile, were preparing to attack the Japanese, in fulfillment of their promises to the Americans and the British made at the Tehran and Yalta Conferences. Japanese foreign affairs minister Mamoru Shigemitsu signs the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on board USS Missouri as General Richard K. Sutherland On August 6, the Americans dropped an watches, September 2, 1945 atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Late in the evening of August 8, in accordance with Yalta agreements but in violation of the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, and soon after midnight on August 9, it invaded the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Later that day the Americans dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki. The combined shock of these events caused Emperor Hirohito to intervene and order the Big Six to accept the terms for ending the war that the Allies had set down in the Potsdam Declaration. After several more days of behind-the-scenes negotiations and a failed coup d'état, Hirohito gave a recorded radio address to the nation on August 15.

  • Blood Red Sun
    Blood Red Sun by Stephen Mertz, 1947– Published: 1989 J J J J J I I I I I Table of Contents Dedication Prologue & Chapter 1 … thru … Chapter 31 Epilogue J J J J J I I I I I For Patricia Donnelly Prologue August 1945 Hitler had fallen, but the war in the Pacific raged on. The Japanese refused to surrender. An ancient, proud, warrior race, their cities leveled by bombing raids and the first use of nuclear weapons in war, their naval forces and infantry defeated across the Pacific, Japan fought on. In Tokyo, in the corridors of crumbling power, some of those who remained did counsel surrender, but to most of the military commanders—and to other, more shadowy factions of power within Japan, many of them descended from the legendary samurai warriors of feudal Japan—the concept of surrender was inconceivable. Both their personal code of valor and the code of the samurai commanded death before the dishonor of surrender. The juggernaut that was the Allied war machine occupied the hard-won Philippines and was poised to strike at the heart of mainland Japan. A drawn-out, bloody invasion was anticipated… Chapter 1 The ruins of Manila baked beneath a hazy gray sky. At ten o'clock in the morning, the air was already muggy, oppressive. General Douglas MacArthur, supreme commander for the Allied powers, sat behind a wide desk in front of double windows overlooking what remained of a once beautiful city. A firm jawline, jutting like the prow of a destroyer, and a sharpness of eye and gesture belied his sixty-three years.

  • The Voice of the Crane • There Is No Other Way • De Laatste
    Index THE VOICE OF THE CRANE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY DE LAATSTE DAG VAN DE SAMOERAI THE VOICE OF THE CRANE In juli 1945 begaven de geallieerde leiders zich naar Potsdam en aan de vooravond van de eerste werkbespreking op 16 juli 1945 kreeg Truman het bericht dat in New Mexico met succes een kernbom tot ontploffing was gebracht. Hij lichtte Churchill in die onmiddellijk antwoordde dat ze 'de Russen niet meer nodig zouden hebben' als de Amerikanen de atoombommen werkelijk tegen Japan zouden gebruiken Truman besloot Stalin niet van de details op de hoogte te brengen en zei tussen neus en lippen door, dat Amerika over een machtig nieuw wapen tegen Japan beschikte. Stalin gaf slechts blijk van beleefde belangstelling. Hij zelf bracht Konoye's voorstel ter sprake om naar Moskou te komen voor onderhandelingen. Stalin had zich voorgenomen dat het Russische leger begin augustus Mantsjoerije binnen zou vallen. Truman gaf hem de vrije hand voor zijn antwoord aan Konoye en Stalin zei dat hij de Japanners aan het lijntje zou houden. De Japanse afgezant Sato werd ten slotte door de plaatsvervanger van Molotov ontvangen, en kreeg alleen te horen dat Konoye's voorstel te vaag was om een bezoek aan Moskou mogelijk te maken. Na de conferentie werd in de Verklaring van Potsdam het geallieerde ultimatum aan Japan opgenomen voor een unconditional surrender. De tekst bood Hirohito de opening voor een snel en positief antwoord, waarop Truman alsnog de atoombomaanvallen op Hiroshima en Nagasaki had kunnen afgelasten. De Verklaring van Postdam noemde de keizer niet, maar tussen de regels door viel te lezen dat het keizerschap gehandhaafd kon worden.
