i have met a few people who had family members die in the hiroshima blast.they are liars?
M-69 aimable clusters delivered by hundreds of b-29 bombers can ruin the day for a lot of people. I am sure plenty of people were injured, maimed, killed during the raids on Japan during that period. Nobody is denying that. Google this:
"Hiroshima, the top news story that wasn't" by Humberto Marquez
That essay is very telling about what happened in Hiroshima that day. Here is a small sample:
"On 7 August 1945, newspapers in Japan merely printed short articles reporting that b-29 planes had dropped incendiary bombs on Hiroshima, causing some damage."
and this:
"By the summer of 1946, the censorship office in Japan had grown to the extent that it employed 6,000 people, who pored over and listened in on all kinds of communication, from letters and telephone conversations to movies and billboards. The press was censored both prior to and after publication."
and this:
"But the problem, Gonzales noted, is that it wasn't. There are so many stories that were never told, personal accounts that were never written, and which today remain buried with the victims. The news of what happened was covered up for days, months and finally years, until it was completely silenced."
