Default Re: Soviet Japan

I have read one of the arguments out of Japan is, they only surrendered due to fear of a Soviet invasion on top of a possible US invasion. Basically, they claim the bombs wouldn't have been enough for a surrender. I think the victims of Nagasaki and Hiroshima might think differently on that one.
