Why the US attacked on Hiroshima Nagasaki. The big reasons came to the fore. About 100,000 people were killed in the attacks.Even today the radiation of this atomic bomb is felt there.

 In an effort to end World War II early, US President Harry Truman decided to drop a massive atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. On August 6, 1945, US President Harry Truman decided to drop a massive atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in an attempt to destroy the atomic bomb early in World War II. On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb, dubbed the "Little Boy," flattened the city, killing at least 70,000 people and exposing tens of thousands more to radiation poisoning.

While Japan was still trying to understand the catastrophe, the United States dropped another atomic bomb. The bomb, dubbed "Fat Man", was dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, killing an estimated 40,000 people and 20,000 to 40,000 in the months following the blast.

On August 15, 1945, Emperor Hirohito of Japan declared an unconditional surrender, ending World War II.

Anola turned to Hiroshima with gays

At 2:45 a.m. on Monday, August 6, 1945, a B-29 bomber landed from Tiny, a North Pacific island in the Marianas, 1,500 miles south of Japan. The 12-member crew was on board to make sure the covert mission went smoothly.

Pilot Colonel Paul Tibet named the B-29 "Anola Guy" after his mother. Just before takeoff, the nickname of the aircraft was painted on it.

The Anola was a gay B-29 superfrace (aircraft 44-86292), part of the 509th Composite Group. To carry heavy loads such as the atomic bomb, the Envola Gi was modified: new propellers, stronger engines, and faster bomb gates. (Only 15 B-29s have been modified.)

Although modified, the aircraft still had to use the full runway to gain the required speed, thus not lifting near the water's edge.

The Anola homosexuals were taken by two other bombers with cameras and several measuring instruments. Three other planes had already departed to check the weather conditions for possible targets.

Clear weather than Hiroshima:

Four cities were selected as possible targets: Hiroshima, Kokura, Nagasaki and Niigata (Kyoto was the first choice until Secretary of War Henry L. Systemson removed it from the list). The cities were chosen because they were relatively good during the war.

The target committee wanted the first bomb to be "spectacular enough for the importance of weapons" to be recognized internationally when it was advertised. "3

Explosion in Hiroshima:

Tail Gunner Staff Sgt. George Carron described what he saw: "The cloud of mushrooms themselves was a spectacular sight, a sticky mass of purple-gray smoke, and you could see that it was red. There was dust and everything was burning inside. " * It looked like lava or mud covering the entire city. 4 The cloud is estimated to reach a height of 40,000 feet.

"Where we saw a clean city two minutes ago, we can no longer see that city. We can see smoke and fire blazing around the mountains," said Capt. Robert Lewis, co-pilot.

Two-thirds of Hiroshima was destroyed. Within three miles of the blast, 60,000 of the 90,000 buildings collapsed. The mud roof tiles melted together. Shadows were cast on buildings and other hard surfaces. The metal and rocks had melted.

Unlike other bombing raids, the raid was not aimed at a military installation but at an entire city. The atomic bomb that exploded over Hiroshima killed civilians as well as women and children.

The population of Hiroshima is estimated at 350,000. Immediately after the explosion of about 70,000. Died and another 70,000 died of radiation in five years.

One of the survivors told people about the damage:

There was the appearance of people. . . Well, their skin was black with burns. . . . They didn't have hair because their hair was burnt, and at a glance you can't tell if you're looking at them from the front or from the back. . . . He thus bent his arms [forward]. . . And their skin - not only on their hands, but also on their faces and bodies - hangs. . . . If only there were one or two such people. . . Maybe I didn't have that strong impression. But wherever I went I met them. . . . Many of them died on the side of the road.

Atomic bombing of Nagasaki:

When the Japanese tried to understand the devastation at Hiroshima, the United States was preparing a second bombing mission. The second run was not delayed to give Japan time to surrender, but they were just waiting for a large quantity of plutonium-239 for the atomic bomb.

On August 9, 1945, just three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, another B-29, Bok's car, left Tiny at 3:49 p.m.

Prior to the bombing, the target was Kokura. As the fog on Kokora prevented the bomber from seeing the target, Bok's car continued to its second target. At 11:02 a.m., an atomic bomb, "Fat Man," was dropped on Nagasaki. The atomic bomb exploded 1,650 feet above the city.

Tirumi Tanaka, Nagasaki citizen and sarviour :

Hiroshi Harada, a Hiroshima citizen survivor, shared a scene:

The pumpkin field in front of the house was blown away. There was nothing left in the whole fat crop, except a woman's head in place of the pumpkin. I looked at his face to see if I knew him. She was about forty years old. She must be from another part of the city. I had never seen him here. A gold tooth gleamed in an open mouth. A handful of bald hair hung from the left temple above her cheek, and was hanging in her mouth. Her eyelids were pulled out, showing black holes where her eyes had burned. . . . He had probably seen the watchman in the flash and his eyelids were burning.

About 40% of Nagasaki was destroyed. Fortunately, for many Nagasaki residents, although the atomic bomb was thought to be much stronger than the one dropped on Hiroshima, the Nagasaki area prevented the bomb from doing so much damage.

The decision was still very good. With a population of 270,000, by the end of the year about 40 40,000 people immediately. More than 30,000 people were killed.

I saw the atom bomb. I was four at the time. I remember the cicadas chirping. The atom bomb was the last thing that happened in the war and nothing bad has happened since then, but Mimi doesn't have me anymore. So even if it doesn't get any worse, I'm not happy.
