Week 309 - Allies Issue Potsdam Declaration - WW2 - July 27, 1945 - S7.E33

China, Britain, and the US issue a Declaration demanding Japan's unconditional surrender, and promising complete destruction if this does not happen and happen soon. The plan is to for the Americans to use their atomic bombs on Japan if she does not comply, but by the end of the week the Japanese have not replied. They still have hopes for the Soviets to mediate some sort sort of peace. What they don't have is a navy, as its final destruction comes this week.
