Nagasaki… ruined by a honeymoon
Leslie Groves initially picked Kyoto to be destroyed by the first war-time use of the atomic bomb. So why was Hiroshima blasted instead?
His wish to destroy the city was overruled by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, who had honeymooned there.
Wow – close call for Kyoto, and Nagasaki wouldn’t have been touched.
Read the wiki page for Leslie Groves – he got things done.
