Current body counts show the Japanese targets to have suffered more and the German targets to have suffered less.

Really? I didn't know that.

Your posts on this thread have been excellent.

Dresden, Hamburg, etc. were overhyped at the time they happened. I think the Brits were "huffing". After WWII it took the Germans a very long time to figure out how many people had died.

The war ended up being so terrible for them that by the time they could get around to it the Allied propaganda claims had pretty much been accepted as truth.

The Japanese casualty and fatality information was much better, but the problem with Hiroshima and Nagasaki is that so many tens of thousands of people died from the effects of the bombs long after the end of the war. There are still people dieing!
