On August 9, 1945, one of the final battles of World War II began, when the Soviet Army, supported by Mongolian and Chinese volunteers, invaded the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo.

The Japanese generals predicted that the Soviet forces, consisting of one and a half million troops, would be bogged down in Manchuria and Korea for many months thanks to the vast networks of defensive structures and fortified areas waiting for them on the border between the USSR and Japan. Moreover, because it was defended by over a million soldiers of the Kwantung Army - the Emperor's most experienced and combat-ready soldiers.

In reality, however, this offensive operation was one of the fastest in the history of World War II in terms of the speed of advance. The elite units of the Japanese Army ceased to exist within ten days, and by August 30, the Soviets took over not only Korea and Manchuria, but also South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.

On August 6, 1909, the American firearms designer Melvin Maynard Johnson Jr. was born in Boston.

Unlike other famous gunsmiths, he had only a couple of inventions to his name by the end of the war - but what inventions they were! Johnson’s rifle and machine gun were used in limited numbers by the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific theater and were highly appreciated for their light weight, accuracy and reliability.
