I have seen the man of the future; he is cruel; I am frightened by him.
- Adolf Hitler to Hermann Rauschning
I was in my office. I had just entered the room and said "Good morning." to colleagues and I was about to approach my desk when outside it suddenly turned bright red.
I felt very hot on my cheeks. Being the chief of the room, I shouted to the young men and women in the room that they should evacuate.
As soon as I cried, I felt weightless as if I were an astronaut.
I was then unconscious for 20 or 30 seconds. When I came to, I realized that everybody including myself was lying at one side of the room. Nobody was standing.
The desks and chairs had also blown off to one side. At the windows, there was no window glass and the window frames had been blown out as well. I went to the windows to find out where the bombing had taken place. And I saw the mushroom cloud over the gas company. The sound and shock somehow suggested that the bomb had been dropped right over the gas company. I still had no idea what had happened. And I kept looking towards the gas company. After a while, I realized that my white shirt was red all over.
It was not really a big flash.
But still it drew my attention. In a few seconds, the heat wave arrived.
After I noticed the flash, white clouds spread over the blue sky. It was amazing.
It was as if blue morning-glories had suddenly bloomed up in the sky. It was funny, I thought.
Then came the heat wave.
It was very very hot.
Even though there was a window glass in front of me, I felt really hot.
It was as if I was looking directly into a kitchen oven.
I couldn't bear the heat for a long time.
Then I heard the cracking sound.
I don't know what made that sound, but probably it came from the air which suddenly expanded in the room. By that time,
I realized that the bomb had been dropped.
