This photograph, taken in 1942, shows a woman working in a munitions factory. SOURCE:The Granger Collection,New York.

After the atomic bomb fell, fires thoughout the central city combined to make a huge fire storm.

More than a quarter of the city’s population died immediately following the explosion, and few buildings within a radius of three miles were left standing. Bettmann/Corbis.
