did more people die in the bombing of dresden or the bombing of hiroshima?

Answer 1

The numbers of people who died at Dresden is disputed some people say 20 000, other 125 000 below are two different web sites that give different numbers. there are others but it seems most estimates put the death total under 100 000


25,000 dead and 30,000 wounded

may have exceeded 50,000

It is just as hard to put an exact number who died at Hiroshima but 90,000 seems to the reasonable number. The added problem in attempting to come up with an exact number is the number who died from radiation poisoning after the bombing.

I believe more died at Hiroshima.

Answer 2

i don't know about actual numbers but I can explain to you concept of a "firestorm" that was discovered as a result of Dresden. Miles away from the city people were found dead with not a mark on thier body. It was very confusing until they realized that the people had died due to asphyxiation. Fire requires oxygen to burn. The fires in Dresdon burned so hot and ferociously that they drew in all the surounding air. The streets between buildings acted as a wind tunnel and created huricane strength winds. The people died due to a lack of air.


Another comparision you may want to make with Hiroshima is the fire bombing of Tokyo. Many people criticize droping the bomb because it killed so many people. However more people were killed when 16 square miles of Tokyo were burnt to the ground. In some places the fire became so hot that people's heads literally exploded. More people died in Tokyo, but people think about Hiroshima because it they all died at once.

Answer 3

Hiroshima = 140,000 dead, including deaths from injuries that occured prior to 1946

Dresden = 25,000 to 35,000

However more people died in the conventional bombing of Tokyo

Answer 4

Far more people were killed in the carpet-bombing of Drsden (perhaps a quarter of a million) than the nuclear blast at Hiroshima, which killed perhaps 30,000. Far more people again were killed by the Japanese army in the Rape of Nanking but they insist to this day in playing victim over WW2 when they were in fact the aggressors.

Answer 5

,Hiroshima sadly by Atomic Bomb, more or less 140,000 dies, and still suffering the damages because many people had died for radiation damage or genetic diseases handicapped

Answer 6

bombing of hiroshima indeed.
