Truman officially warned the Japanese government to surrender completely, or suffer "complete and utter destruction."

The people of Hiroshima were not warned. The only "warning" they recieved were the 3 planes picked up at radar and some warning about this on Japanese radio broadcast. Since it was a small formation, and they lacked fuel and equipment, they were ordered not to attack the planes. They did not know what was coming.

Thats what happened. If the bombings were right or wrong, is another story.
