Father Siemes sent his impressions to the magazine Jesuit Missions. The narrative in the Manhattan Engineer District report appears to be a fuller narrative than what has been found on-line from the Jesuit Missions submission. This report describes the effects of the atomic bombs which were dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively. It summarizes all the authentic information that is available on damage to structures, injuries to personnel, morale effect, etc., which can be released at this time without prejudicing the security of the United States. This report has been compiled by the Manhattan Engineer District of the United States Army under the direction of Major General Leslie R. Groves. More
