Marcus McDilda was shot down just prior to the nuclear bombing. Under torture he "confessed" that the United States had over 100 nuclear bombs (which he knew nothing about) waiting in the wings and that Tokyo and Kyoto would soon be nuked. Supposedly this "information" was passed up the chain of command and only then was the surrender possible.
