OP SECRET E-18 DOCUMENT B (Continued) the THE PRIME MINISTER inquired whether it had been decided to delay the assault on Japan until after the close of the German war. GENERAL MARSHALL said that this delay had been necessitated by the fact that until the German War ended, shipping, air forces, and service troops, could not be made available in sufficient quantities to enable the main operations against Japan to be carried out. If the German war had ended in December of 1944, it would have been possible to operate against Kyushu in the autumn of 1945, There were also certain seasonal limitations on operations in this area.
