I don't know. The point is that the a-bomb's didn't 'have to be dropped' to defeat the Japanese. That's an invented argument... the real reason was to show the Russians (and the world) that they had it and were willing to use it. Dropping the A-bomb did not defeat the Japanese, the American Army, Navy, and Marines defeated the Japanese.
