August 6 1945, 8.15 a.m. the first atomic bomb used in warfare, codenamed Little Boy , was dropped on Hiroshima, resulting in the death of 70,000 people. Three days later, on August 9, a second bomb, codenamed Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki, leading to a Japanese surrender on August 15, marking the end of the war. This insightful program, made to coincide with the 60th Anniversary of VJ-Day, charts the events that led to the end of the war, including the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, along with interviews from many different sources and nations who witnessed it all first-hand.
