Tokyo was burnt out by August '45. Hiroshima was partially chosen due to its pristine state so the full effects of a nuke could be seen.
No. Evidence of superior technology and industrial capacity.

Better do some reading on Russia, China, the African states, just to name a few if you think the US is an evil empire, they all have blood on their hands, at the least you can say & carry a placard that says the president is a stupid, senile old fart & not get 'disappeared' try that shit elsewhere. Look what's happening in Iran with the protests, people executed for saying the Government is an arsehole, we forget our Western Freedoms.
It’s mad to look at photos that are our past and our future at the same time 😞
I know the fire bombing caused more material damage. I just wanted loads more civilians to be killed.
Maybe then they’d accept they lose and stop thinking they are superior.
That’s easy to say unless your child was maimed.

Great post, I've never seen an aerial view of the actual scale of destruction. I feel for those civilians though. They paid the ultimate price for the pride of their Emperor and government and they never had a choice. They were lied to every step of the way and this is what they got for believing while the liars sat safe in their bunkers and palaces.

this site has some great pics of the explosion also of US air strikes and allied ship bombardment of main land Japan
I'd have dropped a special little nuke on these people:
It looks like they scored a bolt of cloth from Auschwitz for the kiddies trousers...
Ah I see your point now.

Aren't you the bleeding heart! What about thousands of Chinese and Filipino children who used as bayonet and target practice by the japs? You are a shithead liberal. The fuckers refused to surrender, and they were burning American POWs alive. Read your history.
Awesome and good to hear
The pilot was Colonel Paul Tibbet's (died aged 92 in 2007) and he maintained that he "had no regrets" about the bombing of Hiroshima (he didn't fly for the bombing of Nagasaki 3 days later). After the Hiroshima bomb exploded, however, his co-pilot, Captain Robert Lewis, wrote in his flight log, "My God, what have we done?"
"In 2000, Tibbets gave an interview where we said, "We all got ready for the final bomb run," Tibbets told author Bob Greene on National Public Radio's Morning Edition during an interview on Aug. 4, 2000.
"I gave them the countdown; I did the seconds. Then, the next thing that happened, the bomb had left the air plane and we all went into a very steep turn — for an airplane of that size and weight in those days at that altitude in particular."
Asked what it felt like when the 5-ton bomb dropped out of the plane, Tibbets said: "The nose lurched up — I mean it lurched dramatically — because if you immediately let 10,000 pounds out of the front, the nose has got to fly up. We made our turn, we leveled out, and at the time that that happened I saw the sky in front of me light up brilliantly with all kinds of colors.
"At the same time I felt the taste of lead in my mouth. And where we had seen the city on the way in, I (now) saw nothing but a bunch of boiling debris with fire and smoke and all of that kind of stuff. It was devastating to take a look at it," [said] Tibbets, who was a 30-year-old colonel when he flew the plane (named in honor of his mother) at 31,000 feet." (Source)
Tibbets never changed his mind about the bombing.

OK, defend your point.
What would you have done differently if we put you in charge back in 1944.
How would you deal with the Germany and Japanese problem?
Time is ticking, little Hermoine is on the cattle truck to Auschwitz, little Johny is with his 30 kg mom in a Jap internment camp in Dutch East Indies, old uncle Pete is crammed into a stinking over crowed 1910 steamer enroute to Japan with US subs in the area...
And 1000 000 troops are being relocated for the invasion up the Tokyo plain once shipping is available...

Always remember to have a stopover in Hawaii to see Pearl Harbor first, then see Hiroshima that way you don't have unnecessary sympathy towards the Japanese. We only nuked them because they decided to poke the bear and got mauled.
If you have a PC graphics program (ie: Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) capable of that then you can. There are some free tools on the net (upload photo and it colourizes for you - some are good some are awful). Images should be in CYMK (rather than RGB) and tweaking of things like contrast, saturation, smoothness, hue, etc. need to be done to get the colours right. I've done quite a few, but again, it's very tedious; I haven't done in a long time.

These are some photos that I think were taken with colour 35mm film (not colourized). There are very few of these.
