Presentation: 80th Anniversary of the Bombing of Hiroshima
To mark the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, Peter VK2EMU will deliver a presentation exploring the historical factors that led to Japan’s entry into World War II. He will then transition into a brief course on nuclear physics, highlighting the numerous technical challenges that had to be overcome in the development of the atomic bomb.
As history is often written by the victors, many aspects of the Hiroshima bombing and Japan’s subsequent surrender have been conveniently omitted from mainstream accounts. This presentation will aim to shed light on some of these lesser-known perspectives.
Members and guests are invited to a friendly gathering in the bistro, at 6.30 pm on the first floor of the Mortdale RSL Club. Drinks and a meal can be purchased from the bistro and bar.
Following from about 7.30 pm in one of the rooms adjoining the bistro, The St George Amateur Radio Society Inc will be holding the gathering and presentation.
