If you want to know how the war really ended, watch the Japanese movie Japan's Longest Day from 1967. No socialist BS (which is what that article is). No Soviet propaganda. No American flag waving.

Summary: Japan's crazy military had been insisting that it was better that Japan be totally annihilated than to besmirch the honor of the military by admitting they'd lost the war. The emperor in whose name the whole war was fought, finally came out of seclusion and said enough was enough.
