„The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. (...) We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan's power to make war. Only a Japanese surrender will stop us.” Truman 1945. augusztus 9-i rádiójelentése az amerikai népnek a potsdami konferenciáról.
