This meant you had no soldiers giving up, armies and governments fighting 'end game scenarios', cause for all they knew, everyone would end up dead
So you had a war being dragged out for YEARS, because of two words
same with Japan.
Anyone who says 'this saved millions of lives', not only has no clue what they're talking about, is probably suspect MIC supporter

i know you are just c&p'ing this comment but it truly lacks any real understanding of the aggression of germany and japan at that time.
that aggression prompted the unconditional surrender, certainly not the allies and some random bullshit, as the above gibberish suggests.
proof is the misunderstanding the unconditional surrender saved lives.
i've never read anything that claimed the requirement for unconditional surrender saved lives, that's pretty silly.
