This home movie really took me there.
Although grainy, watch this short film clip of 8mm home movies taken by U.S. Army Major Morris Hall during a 3-month tour of Japan less than a year after surrender. Filming with an 8mm home movie camera, Major Hall documented the every-day lives of citizens rebuilding their devastated city (probably Nagasaki) less than a year after the surrender of Imperial Japan.
Here are some interesting posts about the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the A-bomb blasts of August 6 and 9, 1945:

Thanks for collecting and sharing these documented stories and images of the incredible destruction nuclear weapons are capable of.
Thanks for your comment Elements. We should also remember that the firebombing of German and Japanese cities had an even greater death toll. For example: between 80,000-130,000 Japanese civilians were killed in one night in the worst single firestorm in recorded history. https://www.enemyinmirror.com/deadliest-air-raid-in-history-tokyo-1945/
