atom bomb was dropped on hiroshima on 6 august 1945 at 9:15am. to look into the nature of the new type of bomb "hiroshima bomb investigation group" was formed and matsumae was appointed as its leader. on 8 august 1945, the hiroshima bomb investigation group (shigeyoshi matsumae accompanied by a team of technicians) set off from tokorozawa in a military aircraft bound for hiroshima. as the team left the aircraft and walked into the city area the scene of desolation was indescribable. besides the heaps of corpses the survivors, their bodies terribly burnt,squatted vacantly. matsumae found his way into the hiroshima telegraph office which matsumae visited previously and went inside the shell of the building. matsumae found the blackened body of the director, tadasi yoshida, who had helped him with the development of non-loaded cable. he had already been laid to rest. squatting by his side was his wife, apparently drained of blood (5 days later she died of radiation sickness).
