- In 1946, the U.S. War Department produced this twelve-minute film about the atomic bomb as part of the Army-Navy Screen Magazine, called "A Tale of Two Cities". The two cities were, of course, the devastated Japanese municipalities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The film begins with the Trinity test in the New Mexico desert in July 1945, noting that on that day, “the atomic age was born.” It then takes viewers on a tour of the ruins of the two devastated cities.
In 1968, American filmmaker Eric Barnouw learned that a great deal of the footage in the movie was shot by Japanese filmmaker, Akira Iwasaki, who visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki to film the immediate aftermath of the bombings. The U.S military at first forced Iwasaki to halt filming but then ordered him to continue.
The footage was suppressed for decades before Erik Barnouw received a letter from an environmentalist named Lucy Lemann alerting him to the existence of the material. Barnouw obtained the footage from the National Archives and then the footage down to a short film that you can see at: • FULL VERSION OF HIROSH... It remains one of the most chilling documents from the atomic bombings.

Thank you for posting this great quality film
……..actually, this ‘tale of two cities’ began in midwinter in hawaii, years earlier. or perhaps even before that, when the Empire of Japan reached out with greedy hands to seize the wealth of southeast asia.
Another dead-souled vampire feeds on the spirits of people long dead: you. You have my pity even more than my disgust.
thanks for this vedio 👍🤓
Sadly expected to see the usual vampires here to glory over the deaths of others, even those now dead long ago. -- Thank you for the upload, as I haven't before seen this in full.
The minimalization of the intentions of the bombing (They were aiming at only military and major industrial targets!) and the German priest's interview, backed later by statements of the aftermath of the Nagasaki bombing, that civilians suffered no ill effects from "secondary rays" is quite the lie, intended to make the viewers of this film tell themselves how humane dropping the bombs was, or intended to be.
How humans lie. especially to themselves - even though the Axis powers were a thousand times or more more dishonest, brutal, inhumane and selfish.
Bruce Collins ---- The minimalization of the intentions of the bombing (They were aiming at only military and major industrial targets!)
Wayne Patterson --- It is your comments which are the lies. The MARK I LITTLE BOY atomic bomb was used to attack the Second General Army and Headquarters which were responsible for all combat operations in Southern Japan. The destruction of that military target was a military necessity for the successful execution of the OPERATION OLYMPIC invasion of Kyushu. The MARK III FAT MAN atomic bomb was used to attack and destroy the Mitsubishi Arsenals and other arsenals which the Imperial Japanese Navy and Imperial Japanese Army desperately desperately needed for the OPERATION KETSU-GO combat operations against OPERATION OLYMPIC.
Bruce Collins ---- and the German priest's interview, backed later by statements of the aftermath of the Nagasaki bombing, that civilians suffered no ill effects from "secondary rays" is quite the lie, intended to make the viewers of this film tell themselves how humane dropping the bombs was, or intended to be.
Wayne Patterson --- On the contrary, it is your false accusation which is the lie. The use of the MARK I LITTLE BOY and MARK III FAT MAN caused no injuries from radioactive fallout. Radiation injuries were limited to those persons who received excessive doses of radiation by direct exposure to the radiation emanating from the detonation and fireball of the nuclear explosion. The composition of the nuclear cores of the atomic bombs and their use in airbursts limited the secondary radiation sources to natural levels of exposure.
when you dig into the earth you put back into it
So grateful for this. If weren't for this part in history, we would not be a free country that we are today!
Jesus! My ears...My ears are blown out!😵😆😂a warning for earbud users!😃
Safe to say the guys that went there to film this died not long after going there from radioactivity ayy?
This was several months later. Most of the radioactivity was gone by then.
Both bombs were air burst to minimize radioactive fallout.
Joseph Astier and time maximise blast damage.
@@Birdieupon Yes. We wanted the most bang for the buck, and to be able to invade immediately. Had Japan not surrendered we were going to use a series of bombs to blow an invasion path inland. We needed to know how safe it would be.
1 of the greatest days in world history the stopping these barbaric animals ! My sympathy to the crews of these planes I hope they carry NO guilty feelings & appreciate all decent peoples gratitude for their service !
They deserved every bit of it! However, today the Japanese refuse to admit it happened!
Another vampire, yourself, drops his humanity to flash us with their tiny little ignorance and pettiness. Every day must seem an age to someone so empty. Even you couldn't "deserve every bit of it."
LOL, bombing civilians is villainous behavior, it's a shame that the USA then did not kill (and only kill) the emperor of Japan directly.
@@damaomiXThose nip civilians were no less America's enemy than any kamikaze pilot.
Japan deserved every bomb and more.
