          Before Nazi's German surrender 8 May 1945, there is a plan who prepared for big operation in Pasific's war, it was for attacked Japan. This operation devided into two parts: Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet. It's getting started in October 1945.

          Operation Olympic is continue in March 1946 by Operation Coronet near

          Before U.S sent bomb to Japan, they aware Japan if Japan won’t give up, Japan will got “ a very big problem”. But Japan ignored the ultimatum. So in July 1945, Manhattan’s Project succeed the trial of bomb in New Mexico’s desert. After being prepared, U.S dropped the bomb in Hiroshima in 6 August 1945.

         U.S dropped the uranium atomic bomb (little boy) in Hiroshima. President of United States ask Japan to surrender in 16 hours and aware there will be "raining debris from the air that has never happened before". After 3 days, in 9 August, U.S. Dropped the plutonium bomb (fat man) in Nagasaki. 

          Actually, Hiroshima is an important city from Aspects of both industrial and military. 
Many military is there near Hiroshima, including second general army headquarters 
leadership of field marshal Shunroku Hata. Second general army is leading the defense 
in Japanaese southern and headquartered in Hiroshima's palace. 

          
          Hata sent at least 400.000 soldiers,most of them stationed in Kyushu in anticipation of 
the Allied invasion. In this city there is also the headquarters of the 59th army, the 5th division, 
and division 224, a newly formed unit of the car. The city is protected by five batteries 
of anti-aircrafted weapons 7cm and 8cm (2.8 and 3.1 inches) of anti division 3, including 
a unit of anti-aircraft regiment to 121 and 122 and anti-aircraft battalion seperated 
into 22 and 45. overall more than 40.000 military personnel stationed in Hiroshima. 

          In 2 until 4 months after the bomb, it killed 90.000-146.000 people in Hiroshima and 39.000-80.000 in Nagasaki. Maybe a half people died in the first day. Months after months many of them died because radiation, malnutrition, etc.

          In that 2 country, many people died is the civilians even there's big military in Hiroshima.
