Thou the secret weapon had been built with Germany and … but the war in Europe was over. A bomb was to be used against Japan. …
6th August, First Atomic Bomb dropped to enemy target (Hiroshima).
The destruction was unlike anything ever seen, in an instant 71,000 people died.
Three days later a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. And another 40,000 were killed instantly. … Thousands more died (due to radiation effect), others remained ill and continued to suffer for years to come.
In a sense I thought, I feel bad that all the lives were lost but it certainly saved mine, .. I thought over all never fact was saved many many lives, and was a beautiful thing. (Sheldon Johnson, US Army, 1945)
Fearful Americas new power, Joseph Stalin put his secret police .. acquire a bomb at any cost.
