After making his way to Japan with the Army, Uyeda would begin his assignments, working for the Civil Intelligence Service (CIS). With this team, he would go throughout Japan, interrogating prisoners of war, researching the population, and reporting his findings. Next, he discusses his explorations through Japan, seeing both Wakayama and Hiroshima. While at Hiroshima, he saw the damage from both a physics standpoint and a human standpoint, and was overall impressed by how much damage one atomic bomb could really do.
