Nagasaki was the secondary Target on August 9, 1945. The primary target had been Kokura, but bad weather caused a shift to the secondary target. When the third atomic bomb was being prepped on Tinian (Tokyo Joe), the target would again be Kokura and the bomb would have been dropped on tentative August 21, 1945. While Tokyo was on two of the short lists, it was ruled out because the US needed the capital intact to occupy after surrender. Bock's Car would again drop the bomb while The Great Artiste filmed. Truman halting the core (known as Demon) saved Kokura a second time. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945 due to the Russian taking of Manchuria.
