-Caveat Lector-
I believe that the following is filled with factual errors. Here are a
few that I have noticed from memory.

My understanding is that the Russians did not forward this offer of surrender.
Why else did the U$ drop those bombs?

I believe that they had already entered the war before the bombs were
A-bombs were dropped. Stalin had full knowledge of the Manhatten project
from his spies (it has recently been admitted that USSR's first A-bomb
was an exact duplicate of one of the US bombs). Also, it has been pretty
much established that Alger Hiss was a spy reporting to Moscow (through
recently released KGB files).

It actually took a few years while they took over Eastern Europe. For
instance, they were given a free reign to take over Poland in 1946. (See
"I Saw Polan Betrayed" by the US ambassador to Poland in 1945-6).

I believe that Nagasaki was a major port.
