Hiroshima Victims + Nuclear Holocaust Test Footage at Bikini

The first half of the video shows details of victims of the Horishima bomb, such as a pattern branded from a curtain onto a woman's flesh by the heat. We see children and victims of Gamma rays being treated in Japanese hospitals. The outlines of peoples' bodies are seen on the street.

The second half of the video shows nuclear tests in Bikini, including a dummy fleet being destroyed on the perimeters of a nuclear blast.

The British Pathe narrator states "noone can see the pictures unmoved".
