| Description | Yoshio Hamada was exposed to the bomb at the headquarters of the Ako Corps. He was sticking his left arm outside the window at the time, so his hand was exposed to the powerful heat rays. He reported feeling as if his fingertips were on fire, and his badly burned fingernails and skin were dangling loose. The middle and fourth fingers of his left hand subsequently grew black, deformed nails. |
