And in August 1945, the world was shocked by two tragedies at once, which became the final chord in the symphony of insanity of World War II - the atomic bombings of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On August 6, at 8.15 am, a B-29 plane dropped a deadly load on the heads of unsuspecting residents of Hiroshima. The city burned all day, survivors in despair tried to find salvation in the river, but the water in it was so hot that people were boiled alive.
