New Delhi, India, on May 28, 2008: Tryst with God – Swamy Raj – Series 15 - Released by Federation of God Believers. This series gives a story on gross inhuman disaster, how two Atomic Bombs were thrown over two cities of Japan and how they paralyzed the life of over two lakh civilians. This chapter has been taken from the pages of Swamy Raj Baldev’s Autobiography.
Another target by the British forces was Nagasaki, which was not subjected to large scale bombing but after Hiroshima, the British Command in collaboration with American Command decided also to engulf Nagasaki.
Before the Atomic Bomb thrown over Hiroshima, the British Allied forces dropped many bombs over Nagasaki on August 1, 1945, but the damage was so little that they became frustrated, because just a few of them hit in the shipyards and dock areas in the southwest portion of the city.
Some of them struck the Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works and six bombs landed at the Nagasaki Medical School and Hospital, only three buildings were hit. The most affected were children; they evacuated the area and went to safer place. It’s really sad when some one attacks the schools and hospitals.
Since the damage was not as per the expectations of the British officers, they decided to target this city by Atomic attack.
The Japanese military sources detected something foul on the morning of August 9th, 1945 and gave an alert at 7.50 A.M. and sounded an air raid alert in Nagasaki but they failed to confirm any noticeable danger. They noticed two B-29’s super fortresses at 10 .53 A.M., which the Japanese mistook to be a routine reconnaissance sortie and gave all clear and lifted the alert.
At 11 A.M. the Observation B-29’s dropped instruments attached to three parachutes and at 11:02 the other plane released the Atomic Bomb.
The bomb exploded high over the industrial valley of Nagasaki, in the midway between the Mitsubishi Steel and Arms Works, in the south, and the Mitsubishi-Urakami Ordnance Works (Torpedo Works), in the north, where there were two principal targets for the British Allied forces.
The brief account described by the mission's weaponeer, Comdr., thereafter appointed Capt., F. L. Ashworth, U.S.N., who was in technical command of the bomb and was responsible for insuring that the bomb was successfully dropped at the proper time and on the designated target, is given as under:
"The night of our take-off was one of tropical rain squalls, and flashes of lightning stabbed into the darkness with disconcerting regularity. The weather forecast told us of storms all the way from the Marianas to the Empire. Our rendezvous was to be off the southeast coast of Kyushu, some 1500 miles away.
There we were to join with our two companion observation B-29's that took off a few minutes behind us. Skillful piloting and expert navigation brought us to the rendezvous without incident.
"About five minutes after our arrival, we were joined by the first of our B-29's. The second, however, failed to arrive, having apparently been thrown off its course by storms during the night. We waited 30 minutes and then proceeded without the second plane toward the target area.
"During the approach to the target the special instruments installed in the plane told us that the bomb was ready to function. We were prepared to drop the second atomic bomb on Japan.
But fate was against us, for the target was completely obscured by smoke and haze. Three times we attempted bombing runs, but without success. Then with anti-aircraft fire bursting around us and with a number of enemy fighters coming up after us, we headed for our secondary target, Nagasaki.
"The bomb burst with a blinding flash and a huge column of black smoke swirled up toward us. Out of this column of smoke there boiled a great swirling mushroom of gray smoke, luminous with red, flashing flame, that reached to 40,000 feet in less than 8 minutes. Below through the clouds we could see the pall of black smoke ringed with fire that covered what had been the industrial area of Nagasaki.
"By this time our fuel supply was dangerously low, so after one quick circle of Nagasaki, we headed direct for Okinawa for an emergency landing and refueling".
When the Allied forces had secured the Pacific Island of Okinawa in June, 1945, they decided to launch a great attack over Japan called the “The Invasion of Japan’ and had it happened, it would have been the biggest attack of the World War II.
The Allied, however, planned to start their operation in November 1945. They made a successful test of the first atomic bomb on July 1945 in Alamogordo, New Mexico, it was anticipated that the strategy of Atomic Bomb would force Japan to surrender without an invasion, and they were right in their planning.
The Allied bombed Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, causing casualties of around 240,000 civilians, whereas American estimate was 105,000 casualties apart from other damages in other areas.
Thousands of people were killed on the streets instantly. The reaction of the bomb was that the fingertips of the dead bodies caught fire and the fire gradually spread over their complete bodies. A light gray liquid dripped down their hands, scorching their fingers.
Many people on the street were killed almost instantly. The fingertips of those dead bodies caught fire and the fire gradually spread over their entire bodies from their fingers. A light gray liquid dripped down their hands, scorching their fingers. The eye witnesses stated that it was horrible, the fingers twisted, bodies bent,faces turned sidewise, legs lost the strength to stand and the hands refused to move. Most of the fingers were stitched to the palm, some could neither talk nor move.
The breathing energy and body pipes were shrunk. The human became a new species of an invalid animal of some alien planet. In short, the after effects were so horrible to explain, more painful to see and those who experienced it and were away from the city are still suffering, most of them are dead now and those who survived were worse than dead.
This is the war and its consequences, started by Germany, Japan joined forces with Germany and in one way, none else could be blamed for the consequences and inhuman tragedies, but a section of human being is still reluctant to accept this reality and Nuke bombs are being piled up to destroy the humanity and extinct the life on the Earth. This is a complicated question, whom to blame and whom not to? A critical review is necessary to analyze the allegations of starting and accelerating the war.
However, the Japanese announced their surrender on August 15, 1945 and surrendered formally on September 2, 1945.
