No, Japan had not surrendered before the bombs. There is no evidence of that in Japanese or western history. Where are you getting that from?

I’m saying it was not beneath Japan to commit horrific atrocities on civilians. You can’t pretend they were some high moral actor that was only performing a military action to defend themselves.
