The appropriately-named #OperationStarvation began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1945. This was the aerial mining of Japanese ports & waterways, many receiving repeated drops of #NavalMines intended to disrupt & stop the movement of troops & supplies, greatly exacerbating hunger there.

War is awful but allies & enemies are all responsible for reprehensible acts.

The aid that the USA sent to the UK is still at the bottom of the Atlantic while #OperationStarvation was the name of the plan the allies used to block supplies from Japan.
