U.S. records confirm 12 U.S. soldiers died from Hiroshima A-bomb A recently discovered U.S. official document has confirmed that 12 American soldiers were killed in the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima, making it the first known acknowledgment by the United States of how many of its captured military personnel died then. A copy of the Dec 20, 1948 report, titled "Death of 12 American fliers as a result of the atomic bombing on (Hiroshima)," had been written as part of an investigation into Japanese war crimes during World War II and whether the soldiers, who were Japan's prisoners of war, had been subject to abuses. The one-page report, written by Capt Robert Miller of the U.S. military, said that there was "insufficient evidence to prove an atrocity and no prosecutive action was taken," referring to trials for any such abuses, therefore concluding that the soldiers had died in the bombing of the western Japan city on Aug 6, 1945. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Hiroshima #Atomic_Bomb
