| Description | Situation at Army Marine Headquarters when the atomic bomb was dropped The artist Yoshio Kawata (then, 24) belonged to the munitions troop. ③Around 7:55 am I ran down to the drill ground from the office of the weapons depot, and lined up for the morning meeting. Soon after the meeting started we heard the roar of the planes, and everyone who was lined up looked towards the direction of the sound. We could hear the sound coming from around the clouds, but there was no sign of any plane. |
