@Blake_Brooks@wellerstein Very interesting. I think 2003 MacNamara documentary The Fog of War makes similar comparisons. -
@JDavidSimons@wellerstein Yes, based on 1945 map apparently so imagine been seen before - just...shocking to see. -
@Blake_Brooks@wellerstein Oh, very interesting that the map dates back to 1945 - didn't realise that kind of material was around then. -
@JDavidSimons@wellerstein Me too...quote: "USAAF map from 1945 showing what the firebombing of Japan would look like if it were on the US" -
@Blake_Brooks@wellerstein Seems Wellerstein is writing a book about this - might have to buy it when it comes out!
