New York, June 6, 1944. “D-Day. Crowd watching the news line on the Times building at Times Square.” Large format nitrate negative by Howard Hollem or Edward Meyer for the Office of War Information.
Original German poster for Der Untergang (Downfall).
Just watched this. The guy that plays Hitler is pretty amazing… Swiss actor Bruno Ganz.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when a US plane dropped the first atomic bomb.
He suffered serious burns and spent a night there before returning to his home city of Nagasaki just before it was bombed on 9 August.
