Again, it's the political vision thing. Major difference between "uber German tech made it happen!" and "the political vision and strateguc push helped move the US toward that direction".All the same, the idea that Germans in the 20th Century made space travel possible with primitive ballistic missiles is nonsense.
No, it did not have an equal role. While the rest of the Big Six might have thought about it, it was the Showa Tenno's position that the atomic bomb was the main (and possibly sole) reason why the Imperial Throne would be threatened should Japan lose the war. The most that August Storm did was to help deadlock the decision-making process, thereby allowing the Showa Tenno to make the final decision.the Soviet invasion of Manchuria played an equal role in the 1945 decision as it meant the last illusion died in the wake of Soviet victories in Manchuria.
