An Unbelievable Set of Declassified Photos Reveal the Preparations Leading Up to the U.S. Nuclear Attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in August 1945.
On August 6th and 9th of 1945, the U.S. atomic bombs were dropped over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These rarely-seen photos give a little look into the other side of the engineering on the first atomic bombs, the mechanical and logistical work that it took to handle, store, transport, and load them; the preparations on the hours leading up to the U.S. nuclear attacks on the two cities.
