LeMay's Inferno: Episode 5: There Are No Innocent Civilians (The Battle for Japan)

As the beginning of Operation Downfall draws ever closer, LeMay and 21st Bomber Command, now wielding over a thousand B-29s, begin to bring a rain of fire and ruin to Japan the likes of which has never been seen before or since. At sea, American submarines put Japan in a strangle hold as they sink the last remnants of her merchant shipping fleet in an attempt to starve Japan of resources and food. On the land, Douglas MacArthur and his staff are planning the fine details of the invasion of Japan. All the while Truman, Churchill and Stalin discuss the fate of the world post-war in war-ravaged Potsdam, all the while following developments on a weapons test in New Mexico which may change the course of history. Learn about all this and more in this exciting installment of LeMay's Inferno!
