更新: 2016-05-19 5:29 PM 标签: 原子弹, 广岛和平纪念馆, 日本广岛, 长崎
【大纪元2016年05月19日讯】（中央社华盛顿18日综合外电报导）1945年8月6日和9日，
美国接连在日本广岛和长崎投下原子弹。数日后，陆军将领葛罗夫斯（Leslie Groves）
在华盛顿的战争部对政府高层简报。
法新社与巴基斯坦世界新闻（DunyaNews Pakistan）报导，葛罗夫斯带去简报的照片，大
概连身经百战的将领，看了都会震惊不已。
这些分辨率不错的黑白照，拍摄到界定现代历史轨迹的两朵蕈状云，也照到大爆炸后，日
本这两座城市惨遭夷平，多数建筑物瞬间消失，只有比较坚固的建筑物残存的景象。
葛罗夫斯是“曼哈顿计画”（Manhattan Project）主持人，也就是欧本海默（Robert
Oppenheimer）等物理学家设计和制造世界首批核弹的计画。
华府智库“史汀生研究中心”（Stimson Center）共同创办人克兰普（Michael Krepon）
本周对法新社展示照片时表示：“如果你是内阁阁员，或是少数几位听取简报的人，想想
那种…敬畏和恐惧感。”
“你无从抵御这种炸弹。”
史汀生研究中心1990年代取得这些照片，但克兰普去年才决定要致赠日本的广岛和平纪念
资料馆。
中心和馆方协商好展示方式后，未来数周将把照片送往日本。克兰普说，照片约有20张。
照片的致赠时机，正逢历史时刻。
本月27日，奥巴马将成为首位访问广岛的美国现任总统。他将由日本首相安倍晋三陪同，
前往广岛和平纪念公园致意。

WASHINGTON:
HIGHLIGHTS
Photos were taken days after US dropped atomic bombs on Japan
President Obama will be first sitting US president to visit Hiroshima
US officials have said there will be no apology for city's devastation
Days after the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
an Army leader briefed a group of top government officials at the Department
of War in Washington.
The officer, Major General Leslie Groves, carried with him a bundle of photos
that may have shocked even those war-hardened men.
In fine resolution, the black-and-white pictures depicted the two mushroom
clouds that defined the course of modern history, and showed what was left of
the Japanese cities after the mega-blasts of August 6 and 9, 1945.
Groves had directed the Manhattan Project, in which physicists including
Robert Oppenheimer designed and created the world's first nuclear bombs.
"If you were a cabinet secretary, or one of the few who received this
briefing, think of the sense of ... awe and dread," Michael Krepon,
co-founder of Washington think tank the Stimson Center, said this week as he
showed news agency AFP the historic images.
"There's no defense against this bomb."
The institution has had the photographs since the 1990s, but Krepon last year
decided to gift them to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
After negotiations about how the photos would be displayed, they will be sent
to Japan in the coming weeks.
"Not many people get to see this at the Stimson Center, it truly belongs I
think with them as part of the historical record, so I reached out," Krepon
said of the collection of 20 or so images.

The photographic gift comes at a historic moment.
On May 27, President Barack Obama will become the first sitting US president
to visit Hiroshima, where he will pay his respects at Hiroshima's Peace
Memorial Park accompanied by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
US officials have stressed there would be no apology for the city's
devastation. To this day, historians and politicians debate whether the
horrendous civilian toll justified hastening the end of World War II.
About 140,000 people died after a B-29 bomber dropped its payload, code named
Little Boy, on Hiroshima.
The weapon exploded at a height of about 500 yards (meters), generating a
massive fireball and blast wave that leveled the entire city, killing tens of
thousands of people.
Many more succumbed to injuries or illnesses caused by radiation in the
weeks, months and years afterward.
The southern city of Nagasaki was hit by a second bomb, killing 74,000 people.
Japan's Emperor Hirohito surrendered on August 15, 1945.
Vast swaths of both cities, including many military and industrial
installations, were obliterated. The Stimson Center photos capture some of
this destruction.

One annotated image lists Hiroshima's railroad station, gas works, power
station and textile mill as all being "100 percent" destroyed.
Damage in Nagasaki was described in similar terms, with a Mitsubishi plant, a
steel and arms works and other factories all gone.
The photographs show how most structures disappeared, with only the strongest
brick and steel buildings partially spared seemingly at random.
The Stimson Center obtained the photographs through a connection to Harvey
Bundy, who was special assistant to Henry Stimson, the war secretary at the
time from whom the Stimson Center takes its name.
Bundy was briefed by Groves, and his son, McGeorge Bundy, eventually
bequeathed the images to the Stimson Center.
Had Japan not surrendered after the Nagasaki attack, the United States was
prepared to keep dropping atomic bombs.
A potential target was the picturesque city of Kyoto, famed for its Buddhist
temples and gardens. But Stimson, who had previously visited the city, ruled
out its destruction.
"There was immense relief that after these two bombs, the emperor
intervened," said Krepon, a nuclear expert who worked under the
administration of president Jimmy Carter on US-Soviet arms control.
