that hitler meant what he said, and what he said was sheer evil. he thought that the germans and the russians would be involved in this very prolonged, and kind of, blood letting, which would protect western interests. similar to what, a long time ago, happened in iraq and iran. it is a rather cynical view, but hoover thought that america should become fortress america, and let the nazis and the soviets fight it out. >> it's not until pearl harbor that hoover finally comes on board, supporting the american military. he is fairly supportive of roosevelt during the war, i think at that point, he did not have many options. i do think that it is interesting, that america first group, it was lindbergh, taft, other people who had this influence -- randall hearst, who had this idea that america could just stay out of this war, and let them fight it out over there. really, hoover was very much in that camp, whereas roosevelt was more, we need to support western democracy. we need to be partners, of course, which was handcuffing. roosevelt would've gone muc

we're going to beat hitler. that was a very cautious think but there's another element to his leadership. a couple of elements. one is and this comes in to his ability to communicate. being this great leader of history, he had this ability to put people, to place people into the grand epic of british history, to make them feel as if they were part of this great violence to as he would put it. that's important to make them all feel part of this thing, this great tradition they had at home but also he had a real understanding of the power of symbolic acts. even something as simple as refusing to call hitler by his name. he would say that man or that wicked men. think about it, very subtle typing but a very powerful thing. if you don't identify, if you don't demonize your enemy and makes them seem like this i'm important presence, often off in the distance. but at the other end of this continuum the power visiting found that areas and showing himself there. showing himself surveying the damage, talk to people, expr

i think with hitler, you see hitler refused to fund the navy, he would find funds for rockets and things like that. but he essentially, early in the war, cut the funding for the nuclear program. he also didn't like the fact that there were so many jewish scientists involved in the physics of it. that was one of his issues. if you look at the resources he put into the death camps and concentration camps, he could easily have funded something else if he had not been so intent on the destruction of europe's jews. >> i'm going to direct this comment to you, clifton. it is really an observation of something that had been made in a previous program we did with okinawa and the atomic bomb some weeks ago. this is from rob eisenberg. he says, i mentioned this in a briefing on this topic. i'm a museum docent at the museum national air and space museum. we have had a guest who had been a japanese pilot during the war. when seeing the enola gay in the museum, he referred to it as the plane that saved his life by bringing a rapid end to the war, which he thinks is an interesting perspective. did you

but hitler scoffed at his scientists, and scoffed at the whole concept. it's not something he was willing to take seriously. obviously, many of the greatest scientists who lived in germany and europe were jewish, and they had fled nazi persecution before the war and had gone to places like britain and the united states, but hitler was very cynical toward the whole thing, and you put by contrast fdr took the whole thing seriously from the very beginning, and it was something where his stewardship really did play just a massive role in making it happen as well as winston churchill. >> he truly believed in the power of science, and i think with hitler you see hitler had his own -- you know, he refused to fund the navy, but he would fund rockets and things like that, but he essentially, you know,l early in the war cut the funding for the nuclear program. he also didn't like the fact that there were so many jewish scientists involved and the physics of it. if you look at the resources he put into the death camps and the concentration camps, he could easily hav

you mentioned hitler. the contrast between him and fdr is that the nazis did pursue atomic weapons program. i think it's arguable whether had they made the right decisions during the process, they might have reached a point of achieving that power by the end of the war. but hitler scoffed at his scientists and scoffed at the whole concept. it's not something he was willing to take seriously. obviously, many of the greatest scientists who lived in germany and europe were jewish, and they had fled nazi persecution before the war and had gone to places like britain and the united states, but hitler was very cynical toward the whole thing, and you put by contrast fdr took the whole thing seriously from the very beginning. it was something where his stewardship really did play just a massive role in making it happen, as well as winston churchill. >> he truly believed in the power of science. and i think with hitler, you see hitler had his own -- you know, he refused to fund the navy. he would fund rockets and t

the scientists were terrified a at the prospect of hitler getting the bomb. they built it as a deterrent. they didn't anticipate it might be used against japan. they didn't know they had the scientific capability during the war. this is a survey of the bombing targets. these were potential targets. but you have to remember that the united states had been fire bombing japanese cities since the night of march 9th through 10th. by the end of the war, three quarters of our bomb loads were to burn down japanese cities. we bombed over 100 japanese cities. and when we ran out of important major cities, we started to bomb the secondary cities that had military significance. the destruction reached 99.5% of one city. and some of the american leaders were apalled. secretary of war said to president truman, i don't want the united states to get the reputation for outdoing hitler in as toties. another top general tribed this as one of the most ruthful killing of noncombatants in all history. that was delivering policy in order to target to burn down the cities to kill ci
