Invasion of Kyushu in November 1945. Kyushu is the most southern of the home islands so not exactly Difficult to work out first target. Japanese troops supposed to be 600,000 and allied casualty rate of the charts.
Odd that the atomic bombs were actually thought about used as tactical nukes to attack military targets on Kyushu.
Regardless, loss of life would have been terrible. And this is the first island.
Although the Japanese would have used what remaining strength defending Kyushu so if that was taken then no reserve left for further battles. It turns my blood cold even thinking about it.
