I was going through my fathers items and found his first hand experience of going in on recon just days after the bomb was dropped. The map shows the layout of where he went and the warning pamphlet that was dropped to warn the people to get out before the bomb was dropped. I am not sure if any other pamphlet exist since he found it on the ground as they traveled the area.
I have several pics he had taken that I did not post that show train cars crushed like a tin cans and also shadows of people on a cement wall.
Although this stopped the war and save many many lives the effects were horrific and massive.
I am glad this rare look into a historic time in history was preserved with pics and daily notes of what he had experienced as he had seen it. Just one more collection to remind us of the cost of war and peace.
