The Repercussion of the Atomic Bombing in Hiroshima | FULL DOCUMENTARY

It seems so strange to me. I have been watching WWII documentaries since I was ten. Now for the first time in this doc, the movie clips of dead soldiers or injured civilians being treated for their burns- are blurred. the images now too disturbing to view. Really? I didn't realize I had become so fragile to need to be spared these images. It is a disservice to anyone injured or scarred by what they endured. Don't hide the past. This is a good documentary.

I’m from Gunma japan I’m proud I’m living in one of the most peaceful and safest countries in the world! I’m sorry about what happened in the past but we have to move forward and stay calm and peaceful and kind!

One of Japan's ace pilots, Saburō Sakai, said that if someone had told him that bombing two American cities would end the war, they would be crazy not to.

A friend of mine from high school said bombing Hiroshima did not save a single American life. I told him that the US simultaneously prepared an invasion force to take Japan if the nuclear weapons failed or were not used. He laughed and asked me where I heard that. I said, “from my father; he had been moved from Colorado to California and was awaiting deployment to invade Japan when the news of the nuclear attack was released in the States. His fellow soldiers threw a party in the barracks. They woke him up saying’Cooper we aren’t going!’ “ Let historians argue whether it was immoral. That is fair considering how many innocent civilians died, but to claim the attack did not save American lives is demonstrably false. Great video.

I'm 95. Went to Japan in 1945 to replace combat troops. Landed in Yokohama to the view of devastation everywhere. I cried throughout the video because the world hasn't learned a freaking thing.. Young American lives lost. Young Japanese lives lost. The hate and animosity was huge. I was offered rank and other stuff to reenlist and go to Korea. I'm glad I didn't because after Korea was Viet Nam, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine (we are up to our ears, there), Gaza, I can still remember WW1 disabled veterans. My brain cannot comprehend the talk I am now hearing of Atomic threat. The scriptures tell of a war in Heaven before people came to earth, It looks like it spilled onto the earth. All that I have mentioned above is kindergarten stuff compared to what can befall us, momentarily. I tenaciously cling to the belief that truth and goodness will triumph in the end. Stop and think for a minute - what else but the return of Jesus Christ can save this earth? Cheers.

Had the Japanese the atomic bomb first they would not had a debate on the immorality of using the bomb. They would use it without blinking an eye. You can be sure of that.

There was no mention of the attempts by the Japanese military command to prevent the Emperor’s concession speech. The military was resistant to the end despite the loss of life.

You forget the way your military people treated our soldiers. My great Uncles were treated so badly it was an absolute disgrace. They were starved and beaten 😢

Strike 3: Truman was NOT a timid man. Modest yes but he was a decorated artillery battery commander in WWI and once he’d weighed all the options he never hesitated to drop the 2 bombs.

A friend of mine called the Japanese the Empire of the setting sun, he was fighting in Europe, but was going to be shipped to Japan when Germany surrendered. Thankfully he didn't have to after the bomb was dropped

My Marine father-in-law fought on Iwo and short stints on other island campaigns before being shot. Upon recovery he was assigned as an MP during Japan occupation. t his death at age 89 he felt extreme hatred for the Japanese because of the horrible tortuous atrocities they committed to American POWs.

I wish one day there will be no war . every country should treat their own people with dignity and respect and respect of others.

The sad part is the leaders of these Countries Who start wars the innocent always pay the price

My father ,Walter Earl Phoenix , was an Army Coast Artillery Sgt. , stationed , on the Island of Attu , in the Aluteatian Islands. He fought with distinction & honor. My father passed in 1996 miss him everyday. God Bless him & my mother. Kevin Phoenix ✝️

Nuclear bombs are horrible. But at that time, after the atrocities committed by Japan in WW2, there was no other way to get them to surrender. It prob saved millions of American and Japanese lives.

My 5 uncles all fought in the great WW2.3 in europe,2 in the pacific.Claude was one of the first special forces soldiers and retired a master sargent in 62.Jessie was captured at normandy on the 7th of june 44.Charlie fought from new guniea to the phillipines.Shirley fought with patton from north africa to germany.Howard was on the big E,enterprize aircraft carrier as a chief aircraft machanic.

I was born, in America, in the middle of all this history, on March 8th, 1943. From infancy, I learned of the atrocities both in Europe and in the Pacific. Always safe, here in America, I still could imagine the depth of the misery that all living beings, people and animals, were put through in WW2 because of the depraved greed for power of a handful of leaders and their followers. Yet, we are constantly on the brink of repeating these tragedies. It is heartbreaking.

Prime example of 'don't start none and there won't be none'

25 years old here seeking out history lessons almost on a daily basis. I will never forget the sacrifices made, on both sides, to get us where we are now. I pray that nobody gets nuked again.

It's always the old men who dream of wars, and it will always be young men who will sacrifice their lives to see it through.
