On April 30th 1945 and with Soviet forces closing in, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. Soon after Germany surrendered, and the only Axis power left standing was the Japanese Empire. Rather than risk a land invasion that could cost millions of lives, the US unleashed a never before seen power on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought the bloodiest war in history to an end.
