America's warning to the people of Hiroshima, August 1, 1945 by Lawrence Auster

Tom S. has uncovered a document that we all ought to know about, but I don't think any of us do know about it, or someone would have been mentioned it before this. On August 1, 1945, five days before the bombing of Hiroshima, the U.S. Army Air Force dropped one million leaflets over Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and 33 other Japanese cities warning that those cities were going to be destroyed within a few days and advising the residents to leave to save their lives. One side of the leaflet had a photo of five U.S. bombers unloading bombs and a list of the targeted cities. The other side had the text. The English version of the leaflet is included in an article at the CIA website, "The Information War in the Pacific, 1945," by Josette H. Williams. OWI stands for Office of War Information:
