Atomic Bomb gt President Harry Truman announces
the Hiroshima bombing
Announcer Good evening from the White House in
Washington. Ladies and gentlemen the President of
the United States. Harry S. Truman My fellow
Americans, the British, Chinese and United States
governments have given the Japanese people
adequate warning of what is in store for them.
The world will note that the first atomic bomb
was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. If
Japan does not surrender, bombs will have to be
dropped on her war industries and unfortunately
thousands of civilian lives will be lost. I urge
Japanese civilians to leave industrial cities
immediately and save themselves from destruction.
