1944 : Operation Stalemate On September 14, 1944, the Americans launched Operation Stalemate on the island of Peleliu in the Palau Islands, east of the Philippines. The island had been occupied by the Japanese since the end of World War I and the Americans had little reliable information about it. The purpose of the operation was to provide support to General MacArthur who was about to invade the Philippines. The operation was a disaster. 9000 U.S. soldiers were killed. The island was finally taken with flamethrowers and bombs. But it was of no use to Americans for MacArthur did not need any support to invade the Philippines.
1954 : Nuclear tests in Totskoye, Russia On September 14, 1954, a nuclear bomb, twice the size of that of Hiroshima, was launched near the village of Totskoye in Russia, where exercises were performed with the army. The purpose of the exercise was to take a hostile area after a nuclear attack. In order to get as close as possible to a real situation, 45,000 soldiers and 10,000 civilians were exposed to radiation without any protection. Most of them died within days, months or years.
