![]() I never felt sorry for the bombing of Dresden. Notes on reading and why I wrote this short review: He felt that the rape of a girl by soldiers was her fault and that it would be best if women just stayed at home as when they were out they were too much of a temptation to some men. I mentioned in the Notes on Reading that the author was an extreme misogynist. Possibly their main regret was that they hadn't done it first. Their thirst for revenge and anger at the Emperor were extreme. They were totally devastated up to and including suicide over the decision of the Emperor to cede victory and urged him to revenge their nation, even if they all died. This cheered the patients in the hospital up immensely who wanted greater use of nuclear warheads against America. Within a few days there was the "news" that Japan had used nuclear bombs on the West Coast of America, and the cities were destroyed and that the people were either killed or suffering. The attitude of the Japanese to being bombed was one I could not have imagined. ![]() ![]() ![]() it was a personal diary, not one written with an eye to publication. ![]() After the bombing of Hiroshima, the author acting as both a doctor and patient in a hospital now devoted to the victims of radiation sickness decided to keep a diary. ![]()
