They were POW's captured by Japan. Nothing "probably" about it. They were POWs ... as well as slave laborers, and they were slated to all be killed as soon as the invasion began. http://www.theprisonerlist.com/order-to-kill-all-pows.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post was written to give the impression that even though the Nagasaki victims lost many family members, their homes and the bombs destroyed their way of life, they were still very accepting of the bombs.

That is deception. Deception? That's your take-away after reading the links? No, I was going for irony: the very bomb blast that nearly killed that Australian (& all the other POW slave laborers working in Nagasaki) was his salvation. The sudden surrender that resulted kept his Japanese guards from carrying out their orders to "kill every last POW and not leave a trace." .

There is literally not a damn thing about any of that in your OP. You have to read. I linked to a blog about POWs which contains more than just one article about those same POWs. Try reading the one entitled, "The End of Japan's Illusion." It's a recent WSJ article by former POW Lester Tenney who was forced to work in a coal mine.
