The repercussion of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima | History Calls | FULL DOCUMENTARY

In the summer of 1945, the nightmare is ending for thousands of soldiers. In Japan, the situation is desperate. The Empire of the Rising Sun no longer has the means to continue the war. It can't stem the American advance. Its centres of industry have been systematically destroyed by the US Air Force's bombardments, its supply lines all cut off.

The people of Japan are preparing to face the unthinkable; and in the corridors of power, too, many of their leaders are resigned to the war being lost. But the ministers cannot accept the shame and the risks of an unnegotiated surrender.

They must maintain the Emperor on his throne, to preserve the very essence of Japan and the military traditions it represents.
