At the end of two weeks, which was the critical period, burns and cuts,
which appeared to be curing, suddenly worsened. Hemorrhages developed,
which could not be stopped. Many died

of thousands of people died in this atomic bombing, that number
of American troops continually got inflated. A hundred thousand,

finally, a few years later, Truman would say,
"We saved a million lives of American troops
because of the bombing."
