Hiroshima Nagasaki August, 1945 (1970)

This documentary is a compilation of silent black-and-white film footage shot by the Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagasaki shortly after the atomic bomb blasts in early August 1945. English-language voice-over narration has been added, along with a few scenes from American sources. The film shows the destruction and injury caused by the atomic bombs in graphic detail.

The most powerful and important video of all time.

Thank you for posting all 15 minutes of this most important documentary.

It's hard to believe that all Americans ever saw was pictures of ruins. The government fought, and is still fighting to keep these images hidden. Though they are declassified, they haven't been released,

This film is the only record..

Thank you,
