Anyone else see the program on the Hitler Channel a few days back about the Japanese atomic program? According to the show, the Japanese had all but caught up with the US in developing nuclear weapons and according to one witness said they'd even successfully tested one warhead off the coast of Korea. Apparently the weapons lab in Korea was run by the Japanese Navy and was unknown to the Americans (who only knew about the one run from the mainland run by the Japanese Army). Guess who looted this site at the end of the war? Yup, the Russians.
If this is all true, it certainly puts things in a much different light.
