Re: First atomic bomb - 58 years ago today

In addition, many folks are not even aware that Japan also had an atomic bomb

program,

but they did. It was begun in the late '30s and continued to end of the war.

There was

cooperation with Germany and material help was being provided by Germany.



Interesting side note -- one of the program plants was located on the Chosin

Reservoir in

then occupied North Korea - the very same site where in the winter of 1950,

the US X Corps

suffered horrendous defeat and casualties at hands of the Chinese - especially

1st Marine Div

and 31st Inf Regimental Combat Team.
