*Part* of the German command was looking for a way out - look what
happened to Rommel. Didn't change the war much.

Part of the U.S. Navy command held the view that no further military
operations were necessary and Japan would be compelled to surrender if
the Allies just waited. Most of the U.S. Army and government felt that an
invasion was necessary. It's not clear that the U.S. population would
have accepted just hanging around fully mobilized at war waiting for
six months or a year until the Japanese government nd army *as a whole*
concluded that it had no alternative to unconditional surrender.

Japan was trying to surrender. The bomb wasn't for Japan, it was to send a
message to the other superpower, the Soviet Union. It also was used in part
to justify the largest military expense in the history of the nation.
