People were vaporized. Many years later, people are still radioactive” declared the filmmaker before the newspaper Washington Post.
Although the film was a total success, a large part of people have labeled it as a new kind of propaganda American, to try to appease the true atrocity that the American government committed against the Japanese population, and it is no secret to anyone that there were less “genocidal” ways to end the war.
