Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Part 5

Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Part 5

Buildings are engulfed in flames and a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke and fire starts to expand over the town. Mass devastation is visible.

Inscriptions read “314” signed by the author; caption reads “(5)…E finalmente la sommità si aprì ad ombrello come un’immenso fungo che si agitava e ribolliva come schiuma cremosa…”.

Caption translates as: “(5)… Finally, the top section opened like an umbrella, like a huge mushroom, shaking and seething like creamy foam…”.
