Cruel traces of atomic bombs

Two atomic bombs dropped by Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, 64 years ago, and down Nagasaki three days later almost flattened and turned these two cities into dead lands.

The scene of the ruins and ruins after two atomic bombs fell on Nagasaki.

These photos were taken by former British soldier Cecil A Creber, just a month after the bombs were dropped. Cecil was sent to Nagasaki to bring hundreds of British prisoners to Okinawa.

The convoy carrying British soldiers traveled on a road in Nagasaki.

British soldiers were led around Nagasaki to witness firsthand the devastating destruction of the atomic bomb.

A factory collapsed and crumbled, leaving only iron frames, but the chimney still stood.

The first huts were built on the ruins of Nagasaki. Creber writes: " Although the pictures are not very sharp, they are of historical value because very few people, besides Japanese, have witnessed this devastating trace ."

The tunnels deep into the ground are the shelters of many people. Some survived thanks to these simple tunnels.

Hiroshima city is almost flattened.

Creber said there was almost no shadow of any Japanese in Hiroshima then, though it had 750,000 inhabitants before.
