Peoples work hard to rebuild their city,houses,roads,rail roads with the help of Japan National Army.
The population of Hiroshima at the time was about 310,000, plus 40,000 military and 20,000 daytime workers from the suburbs for at total of about 370,000 people. The bomb was 10 feet long, 2'-4" in diameter, weighted 9,000 pounds, dropped from 31,600 feet and exploded at 2,000 feet with the force of 20K tons of TNT, the weight of the Enterprise. The entire Second Japanese Army was destroyed to a man plus others for a total of 66,000 killed along with 4 sq miles of buildings destroyed.
The reconstruction of Hiroshima began with relief activities, mainly by the Army, immediately after the bombing. They removed the countless dead bodies in the first four or five days, cleared the principle roads for truck traffic and of course helped to house and treat the wounded. Many, already weakened by wartime near starvation, died.
"Since the war was still going on, it was urgent to restore the functions of the important military bases. Emergency measures were taken to restore communications, electricity, and transportation.
"As the army, which had been the main force in the reconstruction work, was disbanded at the end of the war, the work stagnated. The city government, almost totally destroyed by the bombing, was not capable of taking over the reconstruction work
