The night before the A-bombing (August 5)
From the evening of August 5, 1945, to the early morning of August 6, sirens and air-raid warnings were sounded frequently. City residents passed a fitful night. On the morning of August 6, the alarms finally stopped, the all-clear siren sounded, and that morning began like any other, with people hurrying to work and with those mobilized for demolition work heading to their assigned sites ... to be continued tomorrow

What a lot of people don't know is that America dropped leaflets before we dropped the A-bomb:http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexpe...uman-leaflets/

The atomic bombing (August 6). 8:15 A.M., August 6, 1945, Hiroshima was a picturesque, quiet city. Then with a blinding flash and a deafening roar, a single bomb burned into to the ground. An entire city was instantly destroyed beyond recognition. Nearly all people and buildings within a two-kilometer radius of the hypocenter were killed or destroyed. By the end of the year approximately 140,000 were dead or missing, nearly half of the almost 350,000 residents.
