(**GRAPHIC**) Robert L. Capp Collection: Never Before Seen Photos From The Hiroshima Bombing
Photos of Hiroshima from the Robert L. Capp Collection



The Robert L. Capp collection at the http://www.hoover.org/hila/">Hoover Institution Archives contains ten never-before-published photographs illustrating the immediate aftermath of the Hiroshima bombing. These photographs, taken by an unknown Japanese photographer, were found in 1945 among rolls of undeveloped film in a cave outside Hiroshima by U.S. serviceman Robert L. Capp, who was attached to the occupation forces.

Unlike most photos of the Hiroshima bombing, these dramatically convey the human as well as material destruction unleashed by the atomic bomb. Mr. Capp donated them to the Hoover Archives in 1998 with the provision that they not be reproduced until 2008. Three of these photographs are reproduced in Atomic Tragedy with the permission of the Capp family. The entire set is available below. Please contact Sean L. Malloy (smalloy@ucmerced.edu) if you have any information that might help identify the original photographer.

1. I've already posted this. I urge HRC supporters to look long and hard at those pics
then reconcile that with your support for someone who wants to "obliterate" Iran!

3. This isnt the primary forums.... and she didn't say she wanted to obliterate....
She said that if Iran attacked Israel they would face obliteration. That's basically American Foreign policy. Are you saying that Obama wouldn't attack Iran if they attacked Israel? You're dreaming if you don't think regardless of who the US President is, Iran would be decimated if they directly attacked Israel.
