The significant artifact is part of a display at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum on Truman’s role in launching the Atomic Age.

When “Oppenheimer” opens in theaters July 21, audiences will already know the ending. But the story of how America developed and ultimately used the first atomic bombs to effectively end WWII appears to pack a serious dramatic punch.

Though it may not be portrayed directly in Christopher Nolan’s film, decisions made by President Harry S. Truman were crucial to the deployment of the bombs known as Fat Man and Little Boy at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
