Hiroshima during WWII was an extremely scary place. Hiroshima contained the headquarters of the 2nd Army. This headquarters commanded all of southern Japan. Daily life was hard for citizens and activists. At the same time, the port of Ujina was located to the south of the city and was a main location for military supplies and transportation. This station specialized in the transport of military goods, which increased its importance for the city of Hiroshima and for the entire war. The citizen's life consisted of constant fear of death, air raid sirens and distant sounds of bomb explosions and incendiary bombs. At the same time, citizens also had to confront activists. People against the war lived in constant fear of being killed for betraying Japan. The Japanese army believed itself to be invincible and all the militants had sworn to fight or die. When Japanese activists were captured, they attempted suicide. Because of this oath to fight or die, they tried to take as many enemies with them as possible. These militants included special pilots trained during World War II. These pilots were called Kamikaze pilots and they used their plane as a makeshift missile and crashed them into enemy ships. This would seriously destroy the ship, or even render it incapable of functioning. On several occasions during the war, citizens of Hiroshima pushed back militants with cries of “Banzai,” meaning “ten thousand years of life.” These screams were thought to have been heard over a thousand times during the war. Life continued like this until America finally had enough and dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima was called "Little Boy" and caused massive destruction of the city... middle of paper ...... History. " Hiroshima: A Survivor's Story.
