I'm very curious about how the news of the attack of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were communicated to troops in the Pacific theater, and how the soldiers reacted to that news.

What records do we have about their impressions on the bombs? Did they get anything more than "we dropped big bombs, war's over"?
