Hiroshima 70 years ago

[Gawdzilla]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the military headquarters for their prefects and home to various military industries as well. One of the bombs went off directly over 5,000 troops lined up for morning inspection. Civilians were not targeted, they were living in the targets. The single most destructive raid of the war was in March of '45, when sixteen square miles of Tokyo went up in flames and more than one hundred thousand people died. The military had decentralized ordnance production, moving the "light industry" work into people's homes, in part to save fuel used to move people to and from their jobs.
