Did the us drop pamphlets warning of atomic bomb drop?

In: World War 2, Japan in WW2, US in WW2 [Edit categories]

Answer:

The US did, in fact, drop a series of warning flyers in various Japanese cities warning generally of a drastic military action pending against their government. The notes, stating that the US had no desire to injure civilians, warned citizens from several cities to evacuate. They did not specifically warn of an "atomic bomb," presumably because no one would have understood that from any other kind of bomb at the time.

A fleeting handful of these pamplhets survive among the personal effects of WWII-era soliders' families.
