Introduction

 

Why have I written this text?

 

 

 

One night in 1982 I was on night duty at a police station in Schleswig-Holstein. The policeman on duty was allowed to watch TV, if there was nothing else to do. I remember it was about 11 pm when there were some documentary films about the bomb droppings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This subject fascinated me in a terrible way.

I ran into the guard room, fetched paper and pencil and wrote down my impressions about the photos and films I had seen: original takings of American and Japanese productions. The pencil flew over the paper. I did nothing else than write, scarcely looked down in order not to miss anything of the takings. The result: about 30 pages of text which I pinned at a board.

During the next months I went on pursuing the subject, I bought specialist literature, magazines and books (cost 300,00 DM).Then I took a big board and tried to show the facts in tables in order to get a clear summery. I needed many little cards. Then I began to sort all facts in a chronological way.

Widmung:
Dedication First of all, I would like to thank Peter Holst, who reviewed my original text. I am thankful for the translation of the German text into English, Maria Roesch accomplished this. I don't want to forget Gerda Greschke-Begemann, who has always supported me on many questions. I would also like to thank my family, because they fully supported me and kept my back free. The book is dedicated to all the individuals who are still living today and suffering from the aftermath of the massacre, those who have lost relatives and above all in memory of those, who were literally atomized when both bombs were dropped and no one could say goodbye. I bow to all these people in deep humility.
