65 years since Hiroshima - The Lives That Were Saved
 
As we approach the 65th anniversary of the atomic bombs, let's not lose sight of the wider picture.

This short video clip features a former prisoner of the Japanese - one of countless thousands whose lives were changed by the bombings in a way that is hardly ever mentioned today.

speaking as one who knew and knows surving FEPOW here in Northumberland i have to agree with the comments....mans inhuminity to man...my own late uncle was captured at St.Valery and spent many years in capitivity(thank god it was in Germany) and received a paltry amount upon his release...he was affected by this for the rest of his life!best regards malcolm :salute:
