Operation Downfall
The Invasion of Japan, November, 1945
"An Invasion not found in the history books" by James Martin Davis, The Omaha World Herald, November, 1987 ". Yes, the invasion of Japan was a well known fact back in
1945. Many ETO divisions were scheduled to be "pipelined" for it. However thanks to Harry Truman using his head it was not needed as was shown. The "news media" is just
showing a "newsbreaking story" after 40 years. As far as I am concerened it was only
to sell papers. Same as they do now about Iraq, Gitmo and anything. The U.S. ALWAYS has contingencery plans for one hell of a lot of countries, just in case. Along
with manpower needed and probable casualties.
