Скачать или смотреть The Third Atomic Bomb: Ready to Drop on Tokyo in 1945

On August 9, 1945, the world believed the atomic war was over. Hiroshima and Nagasaki lay in ruins, and many assumed the United States had exhausted its nuclear arsenal. That assumption was dangerously wrong.

As Nagasaki still burned, a third atomic bomb was already being prepared. Inside Los Alamos National Laboratory, scientists were machining another plutonium core, testing explosive lenses, and assembling a weapon identical to the one just used. This was not a theoretical plan or a distant possibility. It was an active production schedule.

On August 10, General Leslie Groves sent a confidential memorandum to General George C. Marshall outlining the reality: another bomb would be ready within days. Targets could be selected. Delivery could be arranged. The nuclear campaign was not slowing down—it was accelerating.

This video explores the hidden story of the third atomic bomb:
– How close it came to being dropped
– Why Tokyo and other cities were quietly discussed as potential targets
– How production timelines revealed plans for multiple nuclear strikes per month
– And why Japan’s surrender abruptly halted a sequence that might have reshaped human history forever

The third bomb was real. It was nearly ready. And its existence forces us to confront an unsettling question: how different would the world look if the war had lasted just a few days longer?
