Hiroshima, Japan, 20 July 1946


Nearly a year after the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, the city is still a collection of streets amid ashes and rubble, a pic taken by a USAF photographer. It needs to be remembered that at the equivalent of only 14,000 tons of TNT, that bomb was a mere firecracker compared with what was developed later.
