Скачать или смотреть 1945: B-29s Wiped Out Japan’s War Machine—Here’s How

Uncover the untold story of how America’s B-29 Superfortresses took down Japan’s entire industrial economy in just 5 months—all without a single ground invasion forcing their surrender. This documentary pulls back the curtain on Operation Meetinghouse, the deadliest air raid in human history that killed 100,000+ people in one night, and the game-changing tactics of General Curtis LeMay that redefined strategic bombing forever.
Through declassified intel reports, harrowing survivor stories, and hard-hitting statistical analysis from Robert McNamara, we break down how 334 B-29s launching from Guam, Saipan, and Tinian obliterated 66 Japanese cities, wiped out 180 square miles of urban industrial zones, and cut Japan’s aircraft production by a staggering 75%—practically overnight.
From the inferno that devoured Tokyo on March 10, 1945, to the catastrophic economic collapse that followed, this meticulously researched deep dive reveals how American airpower accomplished what millions of ground troops never could: the total destruction of Japan’s war machine.
We’re spilling rare historical insights: Japan’s scattered cottage industry system that backfired spectacularly, why high-altitude precision bombing failed miserably, and the moral debates that still rage today. This isn’t just a war story—it’s the most comprehensive breakdown of the B-29 campaign’s devastating effectiveness.
Whether you’re a WWII history buff, a military strategy junkie, or fascinated by how technology reshaped warfare, this detailed account of the Pacific War’s final chapter will forever change how you see Japan’s defeat. Built on official military records, the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey, and firsthand accounts from both American aircrews and Japanese survivors—this is the real story of how the B-29s ended the war in the Pacific.
