By 1942, however, we knew that the Germans were working feverishly to find a way to add atomic energy to the other engines of war with which they hoped to enslave the world. But no one knew any practical method of doing it.
The force from which the sun draws its power has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East.īefore 1939, it was the accepted belief of scientists that it was theoretically possible to release atomic energy. It is a harnessing of the basic power of the universe. In their present form these bombs are now in production and even more powerful forms are in development. With this bomb we have now added a new and revolutionary increase in destruction to supplement the growing power of our armed forces. The Japanese began the war from the air at Pearl Harbor. It had more than two thousand times the blast power of the British "Grand Slam" which is the largest bomb ever yet used in the history of warfare. That bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of T.N.T.
Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima, an important Japanese Army base.
