Information

Description

Japan in the summer of 1945: World War II is raging and for three years now the world power USA has also been an adversary of Japan in the Pacific War.

Miraculously, their home has so far been spared from bombing and the family looked hopefully towards the future, but nothing could have prepared little Gen for the hell that breaks loose over Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 …

August 1945 über Hiroshima losbricht …
