What was the great hurry?This question has bothered nearly everyone who has examined the controversy raging around the decision to use the bomb.The importance of the question stems form three related factors:(1)the United States had no major operations planned before November 1,1945,so there was plenty of time to wait and see what effect the anticipated Russian declaration of war would have on the Japanese,or to see if the Japanese peace feelers were serious;(2)the bomb was not planned for use against a military target,so it would not change the military situation;and (3)the Americans expected the Russians to enter the war on or about August 8,but they dropped the bomb on August 6.When the Japanese did not surrender immediately,theydropped a second bomb on August9,The British physicist P.M.S.Blackett,and later others,charged that the sequence of events demonstrated that the use of the bomb was "the first major operation of the cold diplomatic war with Russsia ."Its primary purpose was keep Russia out of the Far Eastern postwar settlement rather than to save American lives.
A parallel interpretation claims that the American intention was to impress the Russians with the power of the bomb and to make it clear to them that the United States would not hesitate to clear to them that United States would not hesitate to use it ,America had already deployed the bulk of her troops out of Western Europe, as had the British,so that by August of 1945 the Red Army in East Europe was the most powerful force in all Europe.To those concerned about a possible Russian advance across the Elbe River.the bomb seemed aperfect deterrent.
