A slight typo. The estimate was for the death of over 1,000,000 American military and over 10,000,000 Japanese if we had invaded. The Japanese civilians were told that the Americans would kill them and eat their children and they were told to fight to the last person standing, as they did on several Pacific Islands.

So the Bomb saved over 11,000,000 lives.
