May 5, 2008Hiroshima's Human Damage
In 1945, American serviceman Robert L. Capp, who was among the occupation forces, found rolls of undeveloped film in a cave outside Hiroshima, Japan. Unlike most photographs of the Hiroshima bombing, they depict the atomic bomb's human destruction. In 1998, Capp donated the photographs to the Hoover Institution Archives, providing that they not be reproduced until 2008. Three of the photographs are reproduced in Sean L. Malloy's Atomic Tragedy: Henry L. Stimson and the Decision to Use the Bomb against Japan. On his webpage, Malloy now makes ten of the photographs readily available. Thanks to Manan Ahmed for the tip.
