Casulties in England from german bombing were greatly inflated during and right after the war. Germany never possessed strategic bombers and could not deliver the tonnage against england that the allies would deliver against Germany. According to which source you read between 20-40,000 british civilain deaths.
Germany which endured nearly 3 years of bombing suffered approx.300,000 civilian casulties. Some sourses say as high as 400,000. Japan probably suffered between 250-400,000 civilian deaths.

Relatively few died as a result of German bombing. Less than 100,000 - but they murdered millions in concentration camps. Allied bombing killed many more than German bombing - mainly blitzing Berlin. Probably 200,000 died as a result of the atom bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Of course that isn't counting all the people the Japanese killed. I have no idea how many Britsh and allied servicemen died either.

There were 42 million people of all ages killed, with the majority of victims in The Soviet Union.
This was supposed to be the end of all wars.
What a hope!

Too many,
but thankfully the US didn't get involved until very late or they could have killed a load more (without bothering what side they were on)
