I'm sure it was only after WW2 that Bikini Atoll became a test site.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Harry S. Truman deserved his criticism as a "nuclear playboy." Son of a bitch literally tested the effects of radiation on servicemen.

If they didn't make you watch Radio Bikini in high school, look up "John Smitherman." I warn you the results are not pretty. He and other servicemen were told it would be safe to swim in the water after the test was done.

This is true. Furthermore, it was four days after that test when the designer named his swimsuit design the "bikini".

Did you also know about the flag of Bikini Atoll? Or that 3 of the islands were literally reduced to craters and deleted from the surface? You can actually see the craters from google's sat view.

Bonus, you can see Prinz Eugen's stern and props jutting up next to the Marshall islands (also visible from satellite), and pretty sure Nagato sank near by as well, as both were used as nuclear test targets.

Prinz Eugen was the German heavy cruiser that escorted Bismarck on the famed pursuit that resulted in the destruction of both Hood and Bismarck.
Nagato was the first Imperial Japanese battleship with 16.1" rifles, and pretty much the only battleship to 'survive' the war. It was done for before the end of the war due to damage.
