In the Shadow of the Mushroom Cloud: 75 Years since the Atomic Bombing of  Hiroshima and Nagasaki – Christopher P. Hood

There were five Japanese cities on the US’s initial hit list and Nagasaki was not one of them The list included Kokura, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Niigata and Kyoto. It’s said that Kyoto was ultimately spared because US Secretary of War Henry Stimson was fond of the ancient Japanese capital, having spent his honeymoon there decades earlier. Nagasaki took its place instead. The United Kingdom gave its consent to the bombing of four cities – Kokura, Niigata, Hiroshima and Nagasaki – on 25 July 1945.

Scene 4

The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were based on very different designs The  “Little Boy” bomb dropped on Hiroshima  was made of highly enriched uranium-235, while the “Fat Man” bomb dropped on Nagasaki was made of plutonium. The Nagasaki bomb was regarded as the more complex design.

Scene 5

Scene 6

The codename for at least one of the bombs was taken from the film noir movie  The Maltese Falcon The bombs’ codenames, Little Boy and Fat Man were chosen by their creator Robert  Serber , who apparently drew inspiration from John Huston’s 1941 film  The Maltese Falcon . In the movie, Fat Man is a nickname for Sydney Greenstreet’s character, Kasper Gutman, while the name Little Boy is said to derive from the epithet that Humphrey Bogart’s character, Spade, uses for another character called Wilmer. This has since been discredited, however – Spade only ever calls Wilmer “boy”, never “little boy”.

Scene 7

Scene 8

The most destructive World War Two bombing attack on Japan was neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki Operation Meetinghouse, the US firebombing of Tokyo on 9 March 1945, is considered the deadliest bombing raid in history. A napalm attack carried out by 334 B-29 bombers, Meetinghouse killed more than 100,000 people. Several times that number were also injured.

Scene 9

Scene 10

Before the atomic attacks, the US Air Force dropped pamphlets in Japan It’s sometimes argued that this constituted a warning to the Japanese people but, in truth, these pamphlets didn’t specifically warn of an impending nuclear attack on either Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Instead, they only promised “prompt and utter destruction” and urged civilians to flee.

Scene 14

Some argue with the popular contention that the bombs ended World War Two Recent scholarship, based on the minutes of meetings held between Japanese government officials in the lead up to surrender, suggest that the Soviet Union’s unexpected entry into the war with Japan played a more decisive role.

Scene 16

The bombings led to the deaths of at least 150,000-246,000 people Between 90,000 and 166,000 people are estimated to have died as a result of the Hiroshima attack, while the Nagasaki bomb is thought to have caused the deaths of 60,000-80,000 people.
