President Harry Truman of the United States speaks about dropping atom bomb on Hiroshima, hours before attack on Nagasaki.

President Harry S. Truman of United States addresses the United States following his return from the Potsdam Conference in Germany, during World War II. President sitting at a desk at the White House explains the choice of Hiroshima as a target for the atomic bomb due to its focus as an industrial rather than a residential center. (This speech is made on the same day as the dropping of the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, but either before the Nagasaki bombing occurred, or before it was confirmed and announced publicly). President Truman warns of additional atomic bomb attacks on more industries in Japan and says the Japanese can foresee what will happen in a future atomic bomb attack, based on what happened at Hiroshima. Truman reminds about the number of warnings issued to the Japanese by the US, Chinese and British governments and how the Japanese rejected them. In a foreshadowing of the attack on Nagasaki, Truman says "I urge Japanese civilians to leave industrial cities immediately, and save themselves from destruction."
