re: The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Animated

to get this thread on track maybe a bit... I will draw your attention to the Old is Best YouTube page... particularly their WW2 Radio News playlist

lots of interesting radio news clips in there... including the reports of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the first reports of the D-Day invasion, breaking news of the death of Hitler, Truman accepting Germany's surrender, the White House announcing the use of the atomic bombs, & Japan's surrender

ETA: I've been drawn to the D-Day news reports... esp. as the journalists try to describe where things are supposedly happening and being like "if you're looking at your map..." like giving coordinates for people at home tracking a hurricane during hurricane season
